are you calculating TPR's based on 4 games? oh well....

but of course, a very strong showing by the machines in bilbao. however, once
again the usual "marketing trick" of the computer side was applied: play only
few games, take players who are not that well-suited to play against machines
due to their playing style, and who have no experience with playing against
computers. it is NOT the same as playing against other humans.

the 3 GMs were definitely fighting with their gloves off, which is not exactly
the best way to play against computers. on the other hand, the kid at least
showed that you can still beat a machine in an open game.

from this point of view, i am not at all surprised by the final, clear result.

cheers
