Sometimes it happens that the computer's assessment is very abstract. It's correct, but it's not useful for a practical game. You have to prove the assessment with very strong moves and if you don't find all of these strong moves you may lose very quickly. For a computer this is not a problem, but for humans it is not so easy.

Could there be a better couple of commentators for #SunwaySitges than Anna Rudolf and Daniel King? We're glad to have them here, and we hope everyone's enjoying them as much as we are! (besides that, we get the bonus, which is to see how nice they are away from cameras too!)
