That is absolutely the _worst_ reasoning I have ever seen. Do you also guess that when it rains when you have something planned, that the clouds have something against you? It was strong enough to smash computer programs for a long while. It was strong enough to beat kasparov in a 6 game match. I'll bet _other_ engine authors wish theirs was "not that strong"... IE they didn't win most every ACM event after 1986 because of of luck... > >It is not clear if the result of deeper blue against kasparov is better than the >result of Rebel against van wely if you remember that van wely trained a lot >against rebel before the match when kasparov could not train against something >similiar to deeper blue. > >Uri There's _still_ quite a jump from van Wely to Kasparov...
