Everybody at CCC has an above-average intellect.  Some like Bruce Moreland would
be considered an average Krell child. Myself--I am a low grade Krell moron.
You are probably a little bit better than me.

Kasparov is also a normal Krell child.  The Krell are the race of geniuses in
the fictional movie " Forbidden Planet " a 1950s smash sci-fi hit.  If you can
hold your programs to a draw then you are playing careful chess.  Unless you are
a master you do not have the positional acumen needed to trounce the computer.

You can play prepared anti-computer openings and beat the machines but then it
is only a matter of time before the programmers catch on and fill the holes.
It is always better to fly an airplane that to throw a wrench in the engine.
