I do not count this games because of 2 reasons 1)These games are not 120/40 time control 2)kasparov believed that he played against Genius2 and not against genius3. In another match of 2 games kasparov won genius3 in G25 1.5:.5 and Genius3 had a better hardware relative to the first match(p120) kasparov also won a blitz tournament with fritz3 some years ago and won fritz3 in the match between them about the first place. > >Gary's problem seems to be his style: he is a brilliant tactician, who is not >usually frightened of seeing a complicated malaise in from of him. But Deeper >Blue (and the other computers) have taught him to be afraid - very afraid - of >tactics when he's up against a machine. I do not agree that kasparov's style is the problem. I believe that kasparov is the best player against computers. He knows to play the opponent and not the board. He played 1.e3 against Fritz3 to get it out of book early and did the same against deeper blue. Some GM's cannot change their style against computers and these GM's have problems against computers >Then SSDF will have to rate his program. At the moment, he's asked for his >programs not to be rated by SSDF. Ed seems to have a fear of competition. I do not agree. Rebel won a computer-computer tournament in 3 hours/game with tiger I understood that Rebel has a bug in the autoplayer and that this is the reason that Ed does not want to be tested by the ssdf. I guess that he is going to be happy to be tested manually like chessmaster6000 >long since stopped entering computer tournaments.

Junior and fritz are also going to play against humans in the near future in the Israel first league. Uri
