But I would really enjoy if Jorge NOW would give Eduard his prize money. Because now it's no longer a joke - it's becoming kind of humiliating, dont you think so? Already in the German CSS we had that same debate. People misused and humiliated Eduard because of his "seriousness". The same here now. Because companies and programmers dont appreciate Eduard's computerbashing they ridicule him. Since Jorge is always citing news from the ChessBase site it's not surprising that he violates Eduard. FF did it before. At first FF proposed Eduard a challenge but then quickly he changed the conditions. Of course he was anxious that Eduard disenchanted the famous FRITZ. What they then tried is to urge Eduard to Hamburg and he then should play against a FRITZ with a special anti-Eduard [!!] book. Perhaps written by a GM advised by Kasparov. Ridiculous indeed. Ridiculous under academic perspectives. Actually business killed almost all academic fun out of computerchess. And if we wait another 20 years then Eduard could no longer hold pace with the hardware when he has trained on his 500 Mhz... Tatatatata. P.S. Actually Chrilly is boasting with his HYDRA. In London no amateur could be dangerous for the machine. Of course not, because chess always was and always will be a game with training and experience. Without training on the machines you can't win anything. But this doesn't prove the strength of the machines but the the tricky manoeuvring of the business people. They became more and more successful in hiding the weaknesses (veritable stupidities) of their machines in chess. Chess in these show events has degenerated into mere gambling. And it's also trivial that Eduard had no chance against these machines if he couldn't train and practice and learn on the job. I am certain that a player like Eduard on the other hand would NEVER win a single point if he had trained (say a thousand games with a real human GM) with a veritable chessmaster. This is the theoretical proof at least to me that it's all fairy tales about these chessplaying machines and their alleged strength. In reality they are dumb like nuts. And even talented chessplayers like Eduard would exploit such a machine's weaknesses. But a human GM has no weaknesses Eduard could dream of exploitating in years of playing.
