Kramnik and kasparov did tactical mistakes against machines and it is better if they do not play chess against machines again. Kramnik should not get a prize for doing tactical blunders. Smirin is the last human to beat the machine and for some reason the sponsors do not suggest him another match. I think that it could be more interesting for the spectators to see smirin against the machines. Uri
