I have to agreed with you on this matter, especially in the case of the Human
opponent, where most of the time they do not even watch the computer monitor
since this interfere with their concentration, and they always manage to carry a
wooden fancy board. In either case the computer doesn't need the internet
connection to continue the match as long as the webmaster from
http://www.Kasparovchess.com continue to post every move for the espectators to
enjoy the match. A Small fax machine cost less than $100, and this small back up
device, in the future will solve any internet connection incovenience.
