Your statement above is specious! Forget about Chessbase, This Is NOT a SRERIOUS MATCH. Shay Bushinsky explained this to you, it's out of Mr. Gulko's home, it's a casual match. Mr. Gulko is a very seasoned veterern, and an expert against computers. Comparing him with GM Loek van Wely makes little sense, there is less then 100 pts. between them, and Loek van Wely may not be any stronger than Gulko, in fact the reverse may be true! Loek van Wely drew a 4 game match. So? Do you understand the game? If you did you would realize Loek van Wely with the exception of game 3 a truly bueatiful game for Rebel, had complete control of the match and out-played Rebel, letting a easy draw which was a difficult win slip through his fingers and lost the game. Had Loek van Wely drew game 1 which he could have, Ed offered, he would have won the match. Wake up....GM's are still tearing comps. apart when they know their weaknesses! GM's are super strong and people don't seem to "get" that around here except for a few. Terry
