I also would much prefer to see computers winning for more worthy reasons than they sometimes do. But for me personally, I really hope that the next generation of top software will be making great strides in this respect, as this will definately be the last generation that I will be buying chess playing software. Life is short, and I want to move on to other things already, and chess, and even more-chess computers,(as my interest in computer chess stems from my interest in chess, so I certainly can't make it my life-long ambition-to wait for better software), Is not the greatest of contributors to self growth, and the time and energy it takes, sucks. So whilst I'm still trying to improve my chess, I soon hope to reach satisfaction, then progress to other endeavors. I'll make do with the next generation of software. I might upgrade my computer to Thunderbirds 800mhz. And I don't think that till the end of time, any human or machine could ever beat it 10-0. Maybe not even 6-0. So it will always be somewhat competitive. But even that doesn't matter either. It is just another one of my predictions. Shimon Taylor
