You can find the entire article here : http://www.kasparovchess.com/serve/templates/folders/show.asp?p_docID=17606&p_docLang=EN I'd like to report the following piece since it was debated here recently : <snip> We should admit that question number six was itself of the trick variety. We asked if a weak master, rated around 2100, would be able to defeat a top program under these conditions. Like a good lawyer, we try to ask questions we already know the answers to. If you spend time in computer-chess circles you will learn of specialists who do exactly this. They are amateur players who specialize in finding holes in programs' books and playing styles by trial and error. A computer is a slave to its algorithm and anyone with enough time will eventually find these holes. And because you can use the programs to analyze their own play, or play endless matches against themselves, they help do themselves in! <snip> Regards.
