I think that (especially) after the Anand-Rebel event people are only
interested in tournament games. Even Kasparov lately more or less
agreed that computers are equal to the top on 30 minutes games
or lower.

It's my goal to compete on the highest level. 30 minutes games apparently
are no challenge anymore, so better move on. This time beard the lion in
his den, that is tournament time control, the area the human still is superior.

It was not the hardware that killed Rebel in this game but the thing
underestimated a king attack and preferred a to eat a pawn in
return, a wrong decision so software...
