Since the beginning of computer chess? About what matches do you talk? The first match that I know about is david levy against a computer in 1978 when david levy won a bet that no computer could win him in that year. I also know about matches when humans won convincingly(see the match of Smirin against the machines when smirin won 5-3 in faster time control). > >therefore he must create a good show. > >it would not be a good show if ONE side would win very good. I think that it is going to be a good show if one side wins. I think that the prize of the winner should be to be invited to another match. It does not make sense to give Kramnik a prize of another match after failing to win against Fritz. I think that a match of smirin against Fritz may be more interesting than another match of kramnik against Fritz. Kramnik should get the right to play against Fritz only if smirin is going to lose against Fritz. > >therefore you have (as far as i remember) in all those >show-events a strange behaviour of the human chess player >in a certain situation. In all those show events? I know only 2 events with strange mistakes of the human chess player(kramnik-Fritz and Deeper blue-kasparov). Did you see strange behaviour in the match of Fritz against Heubner or in the matches of Rebel against GM's? Uri
