If you'd ever like to compare notes on ability, playing experience, or historic
knowledge of the game I will be glad to oblige. In any case, I fail to see what
any of this has to do with the game. Let's take Karpov's 12 move loss against
Christiansen as an extreme example. Truly a pathetic blunder from Karpov.
Doesn't matter if *I* have done worse, I'm not Karpov. Then you argue
(hypothetically) it is a wonderful victory for Christiansen and start throwing
Karpov's curriculum at me: World Champion from 1975 to 1985 (I don't count the
other ones), record tournament victor, etc. Does this change the quality of the
game or blunder against Christiansen by even one iota? In my opinion, it makes
it even more appalling, not less. Ricardi is a great player, no question about
it, and the bigger and more impressive his curriculum, the more appalling this
makes his opening play against Tiger IMO. The more titles, the more you're
saying it shouldn't happen. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not arguing that Tiger
is the weaker for it, only that the result of the game means very little as to
jduging the strength of the program. Take the game against Rodrigues on the
other hand, and I'll be the first to say I was very impressed.
