The ELO Performance Rating of the TOP Programs approaches ELO = 2600

Kasparov is/was = 2830  The strongest Player in History!

Progerams have NO intelligence.. they Store & Retrieve Data!

What they play in the Opening is GM Moves.. played before!

Why would those who know this.. have much interest in a Match like that?

People go to Car Races to see someone Crash into a Wall.
People watch Human vs Computers to see the Human fall into a Position where the
EGTB's take over.

Fritz Programs have a BUG!
Other Programs have BUGS!
The Human.. using the Programs with BUGS; Figure out 'what' the BUG IS,
and learn how to play to exploit the weakness.

Cars go faster than Horses... so what?
Peple still like to watch Horses.

Others don't care, and like to watch Cars.
So What?

Are you getting my point?
