He analyzed one of the games in Kasparov's match and convinced me that Topalov would have played better without the computer. There's no doubt F5 is not yet strong enough to make a difference for over 2600 players. Maybe if used as a database to check out openings. If it's true Anand has agreed to play such a match I'm sure it's for publicity purposes. This is much easier for him than say playing a simultaneous blindfold match, and probably more lucrative! regards
