Go up one level in this thread


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
