Uri just because you did not chat with or know of anyone with that view does not mean that they are not there :) >I wonder if there are people who said it after knowing previous results of >computers in tournaments. Try logging on to ICC whenever a computer is playing, personally i still get surprised at how many people actually think the comp well "fail miserably". >How many times do you need to see computers perfrom above 2700 to predict that >it is going to happen again.
