If someone manages to get a match IBM versus human, then it'll be Karpov no doubt, the only condition is that the chief of IBM is from Russia, and i'm not sure whether that condition is met. IBM would be stupid, but at the same time we realize that IBM is very selfish too. In fact IBM doesn't deserve to play Karpov. First they need to beat John v/d Wiel (in his life never beaten by any program in the Aegon tournaments, and he's having the right style to beat a program: passive, closing the centre, and getting good doubled pawns which programs don't see that they're well). If it survives this, which i doubt, then Kosashvili will surely make meat out of it. If you still bet on the machine, then Karpov will be the next, and finally Anand will kick it playing simultaneously. If you still are not convinced, then watch an international master under the name Hawkeye at chess.lm.com He plays usually games of 2 minutes sudden death... ...against Ferret. If you can beat machine with 2 minutes for the whole game... ...then i know enough for the time being. Bruce, can you give us some examples of faults that your program makes in these games? Vincent
