I'd love to see Smirin play a 6 or 8 game match against the same >computer opponent on current hardware (in his match the machines were dual >1GHz!). Yes, it's a shame, and I agree with all you said. But things will turn around again. The problem is getting a player who can handle pressure very very well, as Kasparov isn't. Too bad. He's got the talent, but not the nerves....it's a sad day imho. I do hope Kasparov does win on Sun. and at least tie up the match. I'm not very optimistic. But there is still some hope.
