I understand your point, but for me it doesn't matter. As long as humans don't have their act properly together, they will lose. The same goes for computer opponents. For you and me it's opening preparation, looking at games of your opponent, studying tactical motives, playing and replaying endgame situations; for a computer it's proper hardware behaviour, decent opening book creation, no erratic behaviour (I can spit out some technical hubbub I don't understand like hash table collisions,proper tablebase access and 64 bitboards rotating at high speed :)) Bxa1-moves are still a daily part of CC behaviour. Your opponent is not the _theoretically_ best opponent, it's always the opponent of the moment. If she, he or _it_ fails to play optimized, it goes wrong and you will have a zero behind your name. The DJ game will be replayed; both will get a new chance: Smirin to win, and DJ to function properly. When I go to the club they won't let me replay the game I lost so dearly because of my plentyful "hardware failures" :) And I can't be upgraded. Darn. J.
