That's the point then, isn't it? Nobody knows how many games Mr. Nemeth may have played in posting the wins he did. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Nobody really expects people to be posting all their losses against the computers. I could post hundreds of those myself. It is only interesting to post draws or wins. And I find Mr. Nemeth's posts of his wins VERY interesting. But it does not follow from those posted wins that Mr. Nemeth would have more success than Kasparov against DJ or Kramnik against DF. Even Nemeth admitted in one of his posts that his anti-computer lines do not work against fast computers and longer time controls, however well they work against a program playing on his 600mhz machine at fast controls. Don't get me wrong. I am not criticizing Mr. Nemeth at all. He has found some very ingenious ways to expose weaknesses in the top programs and I enjoy trying out these ideas here. But if he were to try these ideas against the DJ that played Kasparov, under the same conditions, I do not think he would have any success. On the other hand, I guaranteed George Foreman would knock out Muhammad Ali in Zaire... eric
