I think it is an indicator of the fact that this is not as serious an event as
Kramnik v Deep Fritz 7 and does not have sponsors (of hardware) like that event
will undoubtly have in abundance. I always enjoy a good celluloid v binary
shootout, but as far as seriousness, this match does not IMO rank high, however
i don't care about that, fischer once said "play the man, not the board..." and
personally i am only interested in what happens on the boeard, and if this event
manages to produce interesting games and moves to remember, then to me it
dosen't matter wheter this match was important or not.
