Chrilly said it best when he said and I quote to the best >of my abilities "Humans are improving like us everyday, but how long can they >improve?" Hi Derek, I think Svidler will lose badly against Shredder. Random positions tend to become tactical and this favors the computer. Svidler will not be able to rely on his lifetime of opening study. I think humans are still better than computers, but not at these time controls. Maybe, correspondence chess is are last stand. Regards Tony
