Besides, another 'quick win' by the machine is going to be the next laugh about in the press tomorrow. This morning's De Volkskrant (one of the largest dutch news papers) read in the sports section: "Fritz spoils atmosphere in the chess championship". >by giving up on the f2 pawn and getting two pieces for the Rook which he could >have been activating later on in the game. However Fritzy opened up the g->file, not the f-file! What a laugh... Yeah, what a laugh this championship! The computer will win it, with 8,5 out of 11, with one win by forfeit, and 3 wins within 15 moves. Because Van der Doel will not be the last one: Also Dimitri Reinderman is against the participation. Good luck with your nice win! Enjoy it. >I think, as some other people here, that Van der Doel was nicely >outsmarted...

No, I prefer games here at the internet against IGM's who want to play.
