1. First of all, congratulations to the Deep Junior team for doing so well in this tournament. By human standards, Deep Junior *performed* well enough for a GM norm. However, I don't think FIDE's rules allow computers to score GM norms or get GM titles, let alone be rated by FIDE. 2. I guessed from the beginning of the tournament that Deep Junior would score 50% in this tournament. Well, the tournament hasn't ended, but DJ has been around 50% most of the tournament. I think the main reason is because the GMs have been afraid to even try to win. Kramnik is the only one who attempted to win and actually did. Of course, if the GMs played with a bit more aggression they might also lose, but I still think they've been very timid. 3. In the last game we saw, between Anand and DJ, I think Anand kind of tried to copy Kramnik, but instead of going for the Stonewall, he went for the Colle, and Anand didn't get anything out of the opening. 4. Question: when is the next tournament in which a computer plays against humans? I know another program (I don't know much about it) PConner or something like that, is doing quite well in another tournament. Baldomero Garcia
