It is funny because Anand stomped Karpov in an advanced match by a score I don't think could have happened without the computers (remember Karpov had beaten Anand for the FIDE title just a year earlier). In this case the computer was anything but an equalizer! I think as a result of strange results like this it is impossible to predict how such a match would work out. For instance, is a 2500's positional skill really as good as a 2800 player? Is the only difference in strength tactical? Kramnik routinely squashes 2700 players positionally, without a hint of tactical play. The extra tactical help may not change the result against some players very much. James
