I suppose >that it gets more perfect the faster it plays? > > Albert No actually this is not what I am saying.A perfect player will not beat Kasparov 100% of the time.Due to the power of HUman INTUITION there are many ways that can lead to a draw (for a plyer of Kasparovs caliber using intuition). There is NO doubt that Kasparov will lose a MATCH to the perfect player.Back to the point : Most Computers have ratings of 200 more in action chess then they do in 40/2.This of course does not mean they are getting stronger .But it does mean this:Take this example(this is only an example!!!!!!!!!) the NOVAG Saphire has an action rating of 2383 .This means that a human rated 2383 by the USCF will be even with this machine in action chess over a series of games . But the formula says that in 40/2 the rating is only 2183.The same human would then come up ahead in a match at 40/2.
