You sound like a spokesman for >robotkind. I support mankind. > I thought Deep Blue had an incredible advantage over Kasparov. But Kramnik *will* have access to some games by the computer too! For example, supposing Deep Junior eventually plays Kramnik, I can download many games played by Deep Junior. There is a big difference between access to games and access to the player! I don't particularly support mankind or "robotkind", but I do support fair matches and this match is turning out to be a joke. Unfortunately if Kramnik wins it, people will summarise the result as "a human beat a computer in the last man-machine match". They won't append "...but the human practiced against the program for three months prior... and there may have been a stronger program that didn't get a chance to compete... etc etc." Why did you think Deep Blue had an incredible advantage over Kasparov? Was it because in *some* (not all) aspects it was a better chess player? Gordon
