The GM Challenge will undoubtedly mean different things for different people. For some it is like an entertaining sporting event. The games themselves hold the interest, whether one is watching them live or replaying them later on. It's fun to watch how the game unfolds. Did the GM effortlessly blow away the computer or was the game a closely contested battle? Another goal for some may be to use these series of games to gage a rating for Rebel. I guess that's fine too but once we churn out a rating for Rebel what can that rating be compared to? What other player or computer has such a rating based on the playing format of the GM Challenge - that is, match play against GM's given one or more months notice? Computers entered in tournaments (Junior playing in Israel or Rebel in the Dominican Republic as examples) at least have some kind of reference point of comparison. How are others seeing this event? As a fun display of GM vs computer or as some kind of scientific research for gaging a rating or both? Or some other view?
