In my opinion, until a computer beats a human World Champion under REAL match
conditions (24 game match @ 2 1/2 hours for 40 moves.) you can't REALLY take
these kinds of matches serious. They are fun to watch, but until it is possible
to play a real match against the World Champion or any GM that will agree to
play under these conditions, that's all they'll be to me.

Jeff
