the dedicated chess computer market died out in the ealry 90's thanx to the PC
chess program
now we finally see the ultimate destruction of chess as we now know it
its bad enough to play chess in front of a computer screen with a mouse,now we
get to play chess on a tiny cell phone
give me a nice BIG wooden board with nice wooden pieces to play chess ..if you
please
and i can suffer the several hundred rating points lower

truth be told,most dedicated computers released in the 90's can beat 99% of
chess players today

so all this silliness about 2600-2700 rated programs makes no sense at all
really

unless of course the interest is in seeing which program can beat what program
but i dont know what that tells us anyway..
Claude Shannon and Alan Turing are probably turning in their graves,even as we
speak..on the cell phone of course
