Subject: Was not the Rebel Van der Weil Match Worthy of News Coverage?

  I was surprised when recieving my febuary issue of Chess Life that there was
no mention of the Rebel Van Der Weil match. Wasn't this match a Milstone in
Computer Chess and Chess in General!! This was not a blitz match, which
computers have already been shown to be superior, but a Standard Tournament time
control match.  When i see matches of this magnitude ignored by the chess media,
first thing comes to my mind is that it is human bias against chess computers
that we have seen time and time again. Or did Chess life mention the match but I
just overlooked it? If so my apologies to chess life.
