   It is starting to look as if Computers Lack the creativity to defeat the
grandmasters, Most of the 40/2 games between GM's and computers have been draws.
 Apparently the longer time controls are nullifying the computers main strenghs
which is tactics. I expect to see even more draws in the future as more contest
are arranged.  Many grandmasters will not take the neccessary rick to defeat the
computers, The defensive abilities of the machine is it's second greates
strength. I believe that based on the 10 40/2 games played so far the computers
have clearly demonstrated Grandmaster strength. For those who will claim that
because computers have not beaten the grandmasters, that the computers are not
grandmasters, Remember one can say the same of grandmasters inability to defeat
the computers, I think though more games will certainly help in clarifying the
issue ultimately. I don't know about anyoneelse but I am impressed that rebel
could draw two grandmasters in a row!
