Subject: Man vs Machine: Day 1 conclusions

Unlike the boring anti-computer display of Kramnik in Bahrain, or the nervous
play of Kasparov against Deep Blue (and its unidentified real-time seconds),
today Kasparov played his real chess against the world computer chess champion,
and proved that humans are still *far* stronger than computers.

Some commentators didn't stop saying how weak Junior is and that Deep Blue was
stronger. But as GM Yasser Seirawan said: "You can't say Junior played badly.
This was just what Garry has been doing to humans for 18 years".

And a quote from Kasparov: "Our only chance to dominate is to play normal
chess".
