Steve, if not Kasparov, are there any others who can still clearly demonstrate
the superiority of the human race?

I remember when Karpov was trying to demonstrate obvious human superiority over
Deep Thought, but got into serious trouble which may have caused a disgraceful
result of a draw, and it took quite a bit of hard work to save the day, just
about, and make the win.
One could see from that, that next-time, Karpov was going to be much more
carefull not to get so close to a draw again!
Is it at all possible that a human might be able to treat even a commercial
program, even on one proccessor, like that, today?
