I would like to point out that my reluctance about Rebel playing in the Israeli
League (which started the ongoing debate about computers' strength) has nothing
to do with its strength. I just think that a computer doesn't belong there.

If GMs want to prove they are supeior to the machines, they can challenge them
to exhibition matches, as they do from time to time. I don't think it's fair to
put the GMs against the wall, as playing against a computer is really a
different king of sport.
