Not everyone has the best computer equipment, and even if they did, you yourself say that it could neutralize the difference between a 2600 player and a 2200 player. Is there even one human in the world who wouldn't be a bit threatened by GT-2 on 1.4 Athlon, if he thought he was playing some novice? Even Kramnik wouldn't have prefered to get to where he is by starting off in this way. His chances would have been smaller than they were! (unless he is the greatest at advanced chess, and would have been doing just that. And even if so, It's less of a certainty as he might relax a bit, assuming that he isn't up against quite that). Uri, we are speaking of the internet qualifiers for participation in the fide championship (are we not?). S.Taylor
