Go up one level in this thread


a pretty bizarre idea,I would have thought.next time I think all events
should be settled by a ballot rather actual performances or results.We
should next organize a ballot to decide whether Kasparov is still the
best or whether Kramnik/anand/Shirov etc are stronger.( the ballot has
already decided that Kasparov is stronger than deep blue)It saves the
trouble of actually playing a match!(If for example an unpopular player
were to defeat a more popular player one could easily reverse this
result by voting against the winner!)this concept can next be extended
to cover all other contests eg olympics, wimbledon, world cup etc.this
would save a lot of time, money and energy.
