  Hi Christophe


Congradulations on your enourmous successs, I believe i, and others would like
you to comment on the result of Chess Tiger in Argentina, Please no one will
think your bragging if you do, you maade computer chess history and i think you
deserve to bathe in the limelight.  Did you expect this result for tiger? Do you
believe Computers are Grandmasters? I know this is a very controversial subject,
but please express your honest opinion, Several programmers have already taken a
stand , what is yours?
