Of course that will be very interesting.  A few word about that:

We are talking about a math between the number 2 or 3 human master in
the word!! (Anan) and the number 2 or 3 computer master in the word
including Deep Blue (Rebel). I think that we are underdimension this
event.  Think about, if we make the match in may, put much money for
Anand and much publicity for de event, then we get another match like
Kasparov-DB.  So a contest like you propose is necesari for an event of
this Dimension.

Two posibilitys to add to this match:

1) maybe Anand play better chess against computer than Kasparov.

2) maybe Rebel in a fast pc can win a match against DB. (before take an
opinion about this 2 posibility take a look at NPS match Rebel-Crafty.


So Ed. go ahead, make the match as good as you can. And do all publicity
you can.
