You are kidding, correct?  Or did you somehow lose 1 week on your calendar
and think this is April 1?  Otherwise this is nonsense.  Put all your money
on Fritz, if this event ever happens. You will make someone very happy...

Fritz searches nowhere near as deep as deep blue.  We've already been over
the logs to see just how deep they really searched, and it was far deeper than
you were thinking, not understanding their hardware.  Typical depth was 15-17
plies according to their output.  I'm not seeing _anybody_ search to depth 15-17
in the middlegame...

How can an educated person make that statement?  Please post your six game
win against Kasparov.  Please post _any_ six game match win vs Kasparov by
_any_ computer...

Your idea of "weak" might not match with DB's idea of "weak".  And until DB's
idea of weak is proven wrong, I tend to stick by it...

because it has been around 6-7 years.  It is not deep blue.

finger scratchy on ICC.  Then talk about other ratings.  look at the number
of wins and losses by scratchy.  Then pick _any_ program of your choice and
look at the same ratio.

hmmmm????
