And we only >have one game played. That's not the point, and if I dig up some of the most brillant combinations that human's have played, the machines would go vastly awry. They are simply just too deep for any machine. Also I expect GM Smirin to win the match...if he's playing in form he should at least secure a draw, without taxing himself. Sometimes it's better when ahead to just stay ahead, but he'll sure look for a win if it presents itself, as $1,500 USD is a nice piece of change for one game. We'll see soon how the rest of the match unfolds;) Terry
