An hour ago Ivan phoned me to ask some questions about the match, wich will begin and end tomorrow thursday, from 14:30, chilean hour. Or perhaps at 15:00. And one of the questions he did to me, after reading in a newspaper that I have gotten one draw in a game with Rybka, was the following: -How a heck you got it...? He was, of course, mainly joking, but the joke reflects something that other comments made to me clear: he respect very much the program and he is not sure at all of the outcome. In his preparation -and all this, talk included, is NOT a secret I am divulging at his back- he has played more than 40 games at around one hour each and the results, he told me, are even. He has clear just one esential thing, though: -I will not do what I said to the press I was going to do, say, play an anticomputer kind of chess with my pieces entrenched behind a wall of pawns. I will not dig-in. That only ensure dead by suffocation... As far, TV of at least one network has promised assistance. I will be there in any case and I will take photos for you to enjoy. Fernando
