Go up one level in this thread


Terry,

Computer games don't count for ELO ratings or for standing in the world of
chess.  Mr. Kasparov isn't throwing these games. DJ is playing some awesome
moves. Try replaying the game with Fritz or Chess Tiger...they are inferior to
this DJ incarnation. You won't get the same excellent level of play.

It is easy for a GM to throw a game but it could never be proved in a court of
law. All the GM would say is; "I should have played this move instead of that."
Then the jury of GMs would agree but no one could claim that the game was
tossed.

Garry Kasparov has been maligned many times before and laughed at his mockers.
He is a strong thick-skinned man.
