No argument there. I'm no fan of deciding the match by using autoplayer for the exact same reasons. However, that is the format of the qualification tournament, which was known in advance of accepting the invitation. That should have alerted the participating programs about the importance of learning, which therefore equals fair terms. Whether it has any real relevance for the match against Kramnik is something else entirely. >The lucky coincidence in this respect is that both progs probably use >the same learning. That would seem to be true. Regards, Mogens
