Modern Chess Formula: The Powerful Impact of Engines
by Vladimir Tukmakov

Th ere is no arguing with such an expert. Is it even necessary? He, as the almighty judge, knows all and can answer any question. All that is needed is patience.

During a mutual training session, a young player who is currently one of the top in the world, asked Garry Kasparov: “How did you evaluate positions in the past?” Aft er all standard evaluations like “better” or “worse” are too vague and cannot begin to satisfy a modern professional. The very question feels like a giant gap between the approach to solving chess problems then and now.

Intuition and improvisation are gradually phased out by exact knowledge and calculation. So far this has only become fully evident in the opening. More than anything else it has become opening preparation which has made the biggest fundamental change to professional chess. So now let us peer behind the curtain!
