What I find interesting is this: if Deep Blue was very good and did not make losing positional errors; if Deep Blue is better, or no worse, than Junior or Fritz (ie Junior has no magic formula to offset Deep Blue's speed advantage); and Fritz held Kramnik; and Junior performs well against Kasparov; then perhaps computer chess is closer to besting mankind than I had previously believed and we do not need a mega-monster processor to be able to do it. Unfortunately I find Vincent's points ambiguous in this respect, since he seems to claim that Deep Blue played crap yet Kasparov played worse - I think he might have even implied deliberately, but I may have misunderstood him. I guess we will see at the end of January....or not. Frank
