Well.. A less ambiguous result than we saw would be more satisfying to me.  We
saw kramnik make the compuer look stupid in the first 4 games, then commit the
worst blunder of his career, then make an iffy sacrifice when he had a much
stronger line (bd5 instead of nf7--heck, even _I_ saw it), to then resign a
drawn endgame.

But wy are we interested in computer chess?  Because we are interested in
computer intelligence.  Is any chess program now playing intelligently?  No, not
really-they are just searching very very fast.  They can't play good 'go' yet,
much less solve real tricky problems.
