Trying to forget the NPS-discussion a second, I think one should also look at the chess played. I am just a clubplayer and my opinion is essentially worthless. Nevertheless... The chess Junior displayed at Dortmund was IMHO the same thing that happens on my own PC but one or two (or three?) plies deeper. When I look at the DB - Kasparov match 97 I think I see something different, another dimension (yeah, I can't defend this point). I think it is possible that DBs potential performance against humans wouldn't be extremely much higher than DJs. But DB could still possibly crush DJ. These two scenarios aren't incompatible. Isn't it the old discussion that rating differences are exaggerated in comp - comp games? It would be interesting to hear what strong chess players think (especially Kasparov :) my zero cents Ralf
