You won't see some jockies riding horses and others riding donkies, as >is the case in WCCC. This is actually a good analogy (horse and jockey). I don't know why you don't understand it. The contest is jockies riding horses. Whoever crosses the finish line first wins. There are no donkeys in this contest, only horses of various speeds. There are only computers in the WCCC of various speeds. You agreed to those conditions when you entered, but after you lose you complain left and right about how unfair it was. Makes you look like nothing more than a sore loser. Do you think the losing jockeys complain that the event was unfair because the other guy had a faster horse? >In a human tournament, would it be fair to give one participant 2 hours for 60 >moves, and the other participant 8 hours for the same number of moves? Depends. By your logic we should give slower thinkers more time, or faster thinkers less time.
