Its interesting how easily Magnus age 27 exchange its pieces so easily but was it necessary?!
Sorry this was age 26!
The difference between real Magnus and his "computer version" is that first would try to play for a win keeping some pieces on the board and going for some more dynamic though maybe slightly inferior positions. For engine these all do not matter, it will hapily exchange all the pieces as long as it does not make it's position worse.
@Alex_slow Yeah,thats the programmers must look for to introduce to engines some other factors like long term strategy,dynamics of positions and kinda human evaluation and decisions makings!But here my question was that obviously when we play with humans and we exchange pieces we think that we get better positions but in this game I dont know what could Black else do, maybe having some heavy pieces for keeping dynamic the position I dont know..
Black is not human and did not play like a human. There is no point of discussion I can see. If that was the game between humans, that would be completely dull, where neither side is trying to win. This is not what chess is about in my opinion. Though, sure, this can happen on any level - 2000 or 2800, does not matter. Remember 12th game of last world championship? They just did not want to "really" play it.
@Alex_slow Well ok this depends on many factors like your style of playing,the positions itself etc,some players choose factor of safety like Petrosian in their play or endless sacrifices like Tal,In my opinion when you play chess at this level the possibilities of any manouevre are minimalised and the optimum solutions are ranged in specific small range!
Not exactly. I doubt Petrosian played this "all-exchange draw" style very often. Otherwise he would not be a world champion. The games he is known for are exciting. Exciting in a different way compared with Tal's games, but you can (and should as a human) play for a win positionally as well.
@Alex_slow you are right,everybody must perfect in what they excell!
