I for one would not mind if in my next tourney they let cg3 play under these conditions as long as I could get fide points from it, but I would not like to play ct15 on the fastest hardware available w/ no possibility of getting any rating points from it, that's silly all I would receive in the end is a beating! I could get that at my house for free. I'm sure others think the same. > >If they become so stronger that we can no longer beat them, we just have to stop competing against them. ok I can dig it, but then we will never get to see comps w/ fide ratings and titles. I for one think they deserve it, and ducking them shows lack of fighting spirit. > >Do we have handicaped car in human's foot races ? > >IMHO the only choice we have is to accept the fact that our machines are better than us. not an easy pill to swallow but I think this may soon be the case.
