Zu Chen may be happy if she ever beats me in rapid (i'm 2312 FM but good in rapid, have a national title there). Secondly, i don't see how you can ever organize a match against a chinese player. She's from China. Not from US, western europe. Even organizing a match against an afghani is easier than against a chinese who is playing for the chinese national team. She's god in China. Everything gets dictated by the state. If she asks someone to get her trainer and he refutes, then his head gets cutoff by the chinese government. That's in case he's lucky. Because the real punishment is getting forever rotten away in a jail without sunlight for refusing trainership for the glory of China. THIS IS NO JOKE. In china refusing trainership of someone from the chinese team is considered high treachery against the chinese people republic. Further the irrelevant thing is next. Programs win from GM with XXX rating. Then next thing is they win from someone with YYY rating but it's higher than XXX so obviously a 2500 GM is not exactly interesting from PR viewpoint. You can get 2700 GMs for $10000 too. In these times they'll be all in the line to get $40000. they'll be prepared to even play like 3 matches for that money i bet. $300k is insane much for a 2500. Only Kasparov and Kramnik are insane that they ask that much as they ask. There are some more plans wasting money. Try www.polgarchess.com for something real pathetic. Who's going to pay for these plans? No one. Judith Polgar versus a strong chessprogram would be real nice to see. I would love to play with diep a match. Diep knows at least about good and bad bishop and all these world top win game after game against programs when they want to because of these simple (and also real complex at the same time) positional things, where programs cannot play at, but where humans CAN play at. On paper from that kramnik-fritz match the programmers get like half a million dollar too, but i'm 100% convinced braingames puts it all in their own pockets and perhaps get some more from chessbase. >On December 14, 2001 at 15:27:10, Vincent Diepeveen wrote: >>On December 14, 2001 at 13:08:17, Jorge Pichard wrote: >> >>what a stupid question to ask. > >I asked the rethorical question, because two days ago a friend of mine who works >for AMD Marketing and promotion asked me "Do any of the current top programs >have a chance against the top female Chess Player using a single processor?", >and I immediately told him that NOT until another year or two, but I was >thinking at that moment of Judy Polgar.
