Go up one level in this thread


John,how many moves were played in the Cmaster game?
i imagine from the position probably close to if not more then 40?
first time control reached?


in my opinion the draw in game two of the Zappa-Ehlvest was more troubling then
this last game
yes the position was even,but a draw in just 25 moves with over 40 minutes each
to reach the time control is just to early for a computer -human match


the chances of the human making a significant mistake are simply to probable  to
allow him to end the game so early

i am thinking the perhaps Ehlvest was pounding the table after each move
pressuring Cozzie to accept his draw offers
:))

for some reason i just cant see the Shredder team or the IBM team allowing
Kasparov to get "off the hook" so early in their matches

in the last game(4) the first time control was for the most part reached and 39
moves were played and so  i can see the draw more readily
