The claim that the number of players that are better than the computer in chess
is precisely 0 only because of one match that kasparov lost against a computer
is wrong.

I do not want to read other things that they say after reading this wrong claim.

They should learn statistics and know that result of 3.5-2.5 is not significant
to decide which side is better.
