I don't believe in amazing luck. I believe in incentive and preparation derived
from the challenge of competition. Since human players don't consider computer
programs as competition, but as an occasional tournament curiosity and perhaps
as an analysis tool, there are only minor incentives.

This match was supposed to be a competition, but it wasn't. A preseason friendly
you might say. So all in all the usual reasons are still valid and this match
doesn't sway anything IMO. Of course you can disagree all you like, consult
psychics and read tea leaves. It won't help.

Mogens.
