Agreed, it would be nice to see Anand have a chance, he seems clean cut, normal and a family man. Do you think it is actually possible to have a 100% sane Chess Champion ?? Miracles happen ! Bob....who do you think will replace Kaspy GM ?? A few years ago my chess programs were beating me every single game, it was then it dawned on me that chess programs will soon be the best players in the world....so....what is the point of playing anymore ?! Then.... Somebody pointed out to me that a car will always beat a human being in a race, does that mean we should no longer praise fast runners in sports ?? Of course we should. I am glad we have FICS and Yahoo chess etc....it keeps the game human. I find that computers have improved my game immensely and I am very proud of what Chessbase has done, I don't care what anyone says, they are overall # 1 and set the mark for the rest. One thing I find strange is WHY does Shredder keep winning or placing high in the majors yet not so high on SSDF ?! It seems strange to me.....I wonder if killer books could be the reasons ( I have no proof of killer books, it is just a suggestion/possiblity ) I actually like my Shredder 2.0 program except there is no analysis engine. I forwarded the HSU article yesterday by email to the Chess Federation of Canada and suggested they publish it in En Passant, for historical purposes. I I think it is an actual "chess artifact" which ends the DB-Kasparov feud and battle for all time. In regard to FIDE; I think that it would be interesting to have a computer and human separate tournament and then have the champions of each playoff. This would be very good publicity. Let's face it the Khalifman match went basically unheard of in the world papers, as compared to say Fischer/Spassky 1972. Alright...I will get off my soap box now ! Take care, FranceL
