You miss the point completely. Man has not admitted that Chessbase 7 on a P450 is better than he is, he has just decided to use technology to help him. The man+computer is a _team_, not a human mechanically playing whatever the machine says. I suppose it is similar to using chairs during the match; man has discovered that if he sits down during the game, he is more likely to win. :) James
