Subject: The BIG GIANT HEAD!

In an earlier post, where I said that there was only one true WORLD CHESS
CHAMPION, some respondents thought that I was taking a easy shot at FIDE World
Champion Khalifman.  If that was the impression I left, I appologize.  Khalifman
is a fine & deserving Fide world champion, and I'm sure his games are as worthy
of close study as any of the Fide World Champions.  The point (and I do have
one), is that no one dominates the game (among humans), more than Kasparov does
now, and for the last 10 years or so.  He is the one BIG GIANT HEAD, among all
the human chess players who aspire to take his place on this 3rd rock:)

My other point (and I didn't notice too much discussion about that), is that no
one commercial chess playing program dominates the field above all others, or
for very long (even by slim margins), like this human guy, among his
contempories.  Nor do I suspect it likely that any commercial playing program
ever will.  Though, I wouldn't mind being proven wrong about that!
