People see what they want to see. If the truth hit them in the face....some will
still deny it.

The results are totally believable. If we look at the progression of computer
chess over the past few year. Deep blue beat GM Kasparov 1997 by 1 point in a
six game match. Then PC programs like Junior, Fritz and Hiarcs have played even
matches with Kasparov, Kramnik, Bareev. Now in 2005 we have the next generation
of Hardware-software chess program call Hydra. And it crushed a top 10
grandmaster.  Since 1997 to 2005, from Deep Blue to Hydra. The computers have
gotten better. Now they crush Grandmasters. Not really too hard to believe.
