I'm sure the www.x3d.com hitcount ran into the millions during that event. >If internet means cnn.com, that's big exposure. If it's >chessclub.com, it's not. Nobody says it couldn't get on cnn.com just because it takes place on chessclub.com. I think one of the reasons that the fritz, junior and deep blue matches got such a massive attention when playing Garry, was because people could tune in and follow the games live on the internet. Television helps of course, but computer chess (without Garry) isn't really suited for television anyway. -S. >Amir
