go on, i take the bet! what about smirin, not a weak player, but far from the 3
you mentioned? he managed to beat 4 different programs (= harder to prepare)
without advance information (harder again) in rapid chess (again harder) with
5-3?
and if smirin can do it, what about all the other players of his strength??

and just BTW, did you look at the kramnik-DF games at all? if yes, why do you
fail to see the huge weaknesses that kramnik is uncovering in DF? how come you
don't believe that even an average (2500) GM couldn't exploit these after seeing
these games? not with the perfection of kramnik perhaps, but a little bit like
it.
