 Athough i 100% agree that the games have no big value, your above logic is
wrong. Imagine what a person in 2055 would say about the matches we play now
at 40'/40 (long time control). He would say: "People of 2004 were really
funny, they play 40'/40 on PIV-3GHz, that means 8 seconds for the whole game
on our Pentium-XLI 74 PHz".
 I say again you are right, but the above logic is wrong.
