Can you think of a better expert on _chess_?

Have you ever seen, with your own eyes, Kasparov go through a varation on a
chess board?

He might not be the reigning king on 'how to beat a computer at chess', but by
God his opinions are far from 'unsubstantiated'.

Do you think Kaspy has never played a computer on a PC, and that he's just
pulling these opinions from his ass?  I am quite sure that he probably has
entered positions into <insert commercial program here>, and has been surprised
by what a little 'ol PC will do nowadays.  I don't think his claims are 100% on
the dot, but I don't think he's talking non-sense either.
