That's exactly how I felt with the Karpov Anand championship. It's tied after 6
games, so we will go to faster times where Karpov wins 2 to keep his title.
Anand had played 6 rounds to even get there in the first place and then he must
win with speed chess. Bogus. Yeah, like Karpov should be the FIDE champion.

Deep Blue beating Kasparov didn't prove anything other than a computer could
beat a world champion at match play. It didn't prove the Deep Blue was better,
just better in that particular 6 game match.
