These two GM's should_go_for_the_kill and NOTHING >less..... You think one match will answer that question? If anything, it will exacerbate the debate, regardless of outcome. Did you know that a champion (like the Lakers in US Basketball or the Diamondbacks in US Baseball) is not proven better than their opponent? They are only proven to be the current champion. Nothing more, nothing less. Indeed, it is often that the winning team does not have the best record in their sport. >I only hope the GM's win. This will give HOPE for the Chess >programers/computers to work towards in the future. IF the computer wins...Its >over!! Who wins or who loses is practically irrelevant. It's just entertainment, after all. If GM's beat machines, it's a temporary victory anyway. The march of machine superiority is unstoppable. We are at the "Paul Bunyan/John Henry" stage right now, to be sure. But nobody cuts more trees with an axe or drives more steel with a hammer any more. The same will be true (before long) for computer chess verses human chess.
