Yes, I'm not a program, just a person. But maybe someday someone will invent a way to connect directly my brain to a chess server so that I can run automated with a fixed protocol. Or they'll find something just as good as automated playing to avoid cheating when playing online. But the fact that humans have limitations that prevent us from doing something doesn't mean that we should not take advantage of that facitily in computer programs. Human chess is moving towards playing online. It's sad that computer chess refuses to move that way. José C. >> Linares is a joke, an spectacle. No more.
