I compliment Judith Polgar; She has/had the guts to play this match in her own style. Now that it is almost over, we can be thankful that she has not played in the boring, sleapy style that other GM's (like Kasparov), have played against the programs trying to exploit the supposed well known weaknesses of the software. Who wants to see that! Hopefully, she will get a chance at a remath in the future, where she could in fact use the knowledge she gained playing the program to good effect. - Kind of like Alekhine did from studying Capablanca's play in NY, 1927, before he beat him in that long winded match. mrslug - the inkompetent chess software addict!
