you should not forget that all of us would look very stupid when playing adams,
and many top engines too - i played the rapid tournament in mainz and saw him
play against IMs who looked like pushovers when playing him...
i saw korchnoi playing against kasparov at his birthday tournament in zurich
recently. he looked like a schoolboy, but he is still 2600.
