There are far more anti-computer experts on ICC that Smirin could easily crush, but who would fare better against the computers than he. Since he had not played any computers since 1996, I think his statement is more due to shock about the increased strength of the computers since he last played them, than about hype for the match. After the match, any comments about their strength will have more meaning. kp
