Subject: Question to Anti-Computer Chess Proponents

   If there is really a style of play that exist which is consistently effective
against computer programs, then why wasn't it employed by Garry Kasparov in his
matches vs Deep Junior and Fritz? If these Strategies nullify the Playing
Strength of Computers then why didn't Garry win the matches? Or do many still
claim that the Three matches with the computers and Kasparov and Kramnick were
all fixed? If for the sake of argument we agree that they were fixed then how do
we explain the Result of Hiarcs vs Bareev (2700) , Hiarcs running on a mere
XP2400 was able to hold the Seventh strongest Player to a four game draw! Not to
mention the result of Rebel Vs Van Wely, and the numerous others. Something to
consider i think? Some people around are still saying they believe the computers
are still only 2400 based on the fact that they give aways draws, I can
understand this thinking, but i believe it would be more accurate to say that it
is impossible to Rate Computers in the Same way as we rate humans, rather then
to say they are only 2400. It is just as rediculous to suggest they are only
2400 as it is to suggest they are 2800!
