Where are the match rules? I missed them.
I am not challenging GM Gulko credibility as much as I am challenging the
sponsors to make a better tournament.
This is a serious match. There are 2 well known sponsors Chessbase and
KasparovChess.com with many people analyzing the games.
Compare Gulko’s credentials to Loek Van Wely. Loek Van Wely, rated 95 points
higher than Gulko, drew a 4 game computer match at slower time control against 1
program.
Common sense says the computers should win.
