For the sake of Earth there are no Supermans like Kasparov... or we could have been dominated by computers very easily or sold for some amount of money! 2) "Today an ordinary player knows much more than Fischer knew 35 years ago." - Do you folks really know chess more than Fischer at age 25 ? I don't. 3) "When I played good moves I was dominating. It was my big mistakes that changed the match. The average quality of my moves was much higher. But the machine doesn't make blunders." "Our average quality among the top-class players is still superior to the best machine." - Kasparov defends himself. That's obvious. When I make good moves and don't make big mistakes/blunders I win, otherwise I loose. That applies for everyone! 4) "Deep Junior was a revolutionary program because it was the first time the programmers had tried to deal with material [the value of the pieces in play or captured] versus quality [strategic moves]." - Oh, no !! What about the incredible work done with Chess System Tal ? What about Tiger ? ----------------------------------------------------- I think Anand's point of view about computer chess is much more accurate than Kasparov's. Kasparov's main weakness is his super-ego - well illustrated when he became totally blind at Linares when Radjabov was chosen to receive the prize of best game. A. Ponti
