So both Kasparov and Kramnik are participating in a conspiracy to avoid beating
computers?

Sounds about as factual as that JICCA paper citation you keep forgetting to
provide to show that you have at least a tiny bit of accuracy in things you post
here.

Or that quote where I claimed my speedup=1+(NCPUS-1)*.7 works for _any_ number
of CPUS.

Where are they???  Over-active imagination?  or, to be politically correct,
"honesty challenged?"

Or is everything you write to be taken as an outright fabrication?

Or is it time to run and hide again?
