There are people who want to play against computers. I did not play against a computer in a tournament game but I played some years ago in a tournament when there was a computer and I could tell before the tournament that I refuse to play against it and I did not do it not because of memory problems. , and that if GMs wanted to play >computers they could do it at home. They cannot win money prizes by winning the computers at home. I do not understand these people. I could understand if they said that they do not like computers but they did not give you a rational answer. Uri
