What a travesty! it must be a conspiracy i never thought of this before: they want to sell their product AND win!! they must be the devil ;) How would it look?! "Our top programs faced experienced > GM Gulko in 8 games and lost 2-6. Go buy your copy before it's too late." Well what you are saying is that basically that the programs are playing at their strongest and are likely to win big, imagine if kasparov were to play gulko would you argue the same way?? I am sure Gulko knows that he faces an uphill battle and signed up for the match knowing that it would not be a walk in the park. By the way it is a well known fact that conputers of today play better with longer time controls... Regards Jonas
