You are right, but of course very clever players could exploit the general illness or handicap of chess machines. But at lest it would be honest to play like that. But - to imposter that a machine is a chess GM and either ignoring that only the slavery to a book that no machine could understand or intentionally dding such a help with hiding the fact that only unallowed help (FIDE rules for human chess) could save a machine against a good human player - this is dishonest IMO. Look, I am the first who would accept that comps could be GM for almost perfect chess, because I need such a help as trainer so badly, but when I have such a machine at home I know - after very short tests - that I was cheated because the alleged GM is a real beginner in chess. I have never read that EVER a GM existed in chess history who was a fool in very basic chess situations. Chess players were alcoholics, they pissed allegedly over the board, amateurs allegedly already killed their opponents with knives, but they all knew the historically possible about chess. So - wouldn't it be honest, decent and fair if CC would simply accept the truth, renounced impostering and tried to qualify for human chess? Without these ridiculous show events where only the users and the many spectators are been taking for a ride? What is wrong with this? Chess machines will become better and better and in 50 or 100 years they are stronger than mankind. What is wrong with that? What do you believe our children and their children will think about us, in special our imposters? And note, chess is said has nothing in common with poker strip or boxing! I know that I will be flamed for being an ugly revolutionarist, anarchist and idiot, but I am happy to be in the same class then like Jesus Christ. Rolf Tueschen
