Go up one level in this thread


Top engines are all really great.

Rybka, Crafty, Toga, Shredder, Rufian, Quark, Chess Master, Hiarcs, Fritz, etc,
etc, just as example, are all Top engines. All are cats ( tigers, leons,
panters, etc )

When a Top human being like G.M. Krammnik will be  making a combat against one
of the Top engines, we will be seeing a great combat, and a very important
oportunitie to learn many new things.

IF the G.M. Topalov will be playing for example against  Hydra, this fight will
be really great too.

Now, If a chess machine will be playing into Linares, will be a really great
great challenger, ...... If the machine is Hydra, Rybka, Tiger, Hiarcs, Crafty,
Quark, or chessbase engine famelie, in all case, the combat will be very strong.

I am Happy for chessbase, and Kramnik challenger. Good luck for all.

Best regards,

Pablo
