Hi: My teacher of chess, Im Rene Jauregui -he defeated Bobby Fisher time ago, I think the game is in some database- told me it had no sense to play againts a computer as I would play against a human, with not help but my brain. "Use your opening books, why not" , he said to me; "after all the computer is doing the same, the only difference the books is hidden in his bowel". He is right, I think, otherwise that competition is partially about chess acumen and partially between a failing memory and a perfect one. Besides, consulting books is more creative that just to ask the computer to play the correct moves of the line and then wait until the line is over; with the book you can and you must choose between lines and that, chosing, is enterily human. Human is, also, the capacity to judge if the ione in your book has sense after all. To me, 49 years old, qith a memory not actually so good to memorize new stuff -and anyway I prefer to let the remaining capacity to more esential things than chess- the idea of jauregui seem OK, althought someything inside our sense of fair competition goes against. fernando
