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. Mark
