Hyatt may be strongly opinionated, but he is anything BUT a quack. (And what do
you have against Ducks, anyway? :-) )

When the GM's have the incentive to wallop the micro's, and yes I mean $$$$$,
(see Hyatt's post below this one regarding "Anti-computer playing..."). THEN
we'll see the REAL ability of the programs versus the GM's.

Ask yourself just how hard are you going to train yourself to beat a micro when
the micro can't win the prize$$$$, anyway?

Am I the only who believes Kasparov would have walked through Deep Blue like a
hot knife through butter on a July day, IF he had the opportunity to see more of
DB's games and prepare accordingly?

Someday, the computers will outplay all GM's, I think, but I do not believe the
current programs can, **If** the GM's prepare, and that includes seeing lots of
the computers previous contest chess games.** Which seems only fair since the
computers take their book openings very largely from GM play, and the
programmers are free to peruse the GM's previous contest games.
