Go up one level in this thread


Were I to dream that I am the strongest player in the world, like K or K, then
playing any lesser mortal or machine would probably weaken my game.
It is also accurate to assume that the preparation of a Champion Human Player
for a machine match is different than that for say, Linares, so that devoting
massive amounts of time to preparing for the first (machine) match could detract
from one's performance in the second because the advanced preparation time was
not available. But I do not see this as a condemnation of playing machines for
you or me. Do You?
