Hello,
Don't interpret the poll incorrectly.  Asking if they should be playing in World
Championship qualifying matches is not the same as asking if computers should be
allowed to play in regular tournaments.  I think most of us here would like to
see them playing in regular tournaments but not for the World Chamionship untill
they have proven they belong with the elite players.
