People are already taking this sort of open information for granted. Before the Internet none of us would have known about any of this Hsu - Kasparov. And today the young cyber-users are saying "I should be able to discuss this issue directly with Dr Hsu." I think we should be happy with what we've got. We received information from a couple of sources direct from the "Horses mouths". We are in a cyber-commumity of people who are variously qualified to discuss the (non) developements, and we get many viewpoints. If any more "official" information is released we will very quickly hear about it. How lucky are we. Take this discussion to your mates or to the playground or workplace and no-one gives a damn. We are able to discuss & conjecture these things here, and even get feedback from people who really know about the subject and actually know the major characters. I wouldn't expect Dr Hsu to expose himself to this place. "Why did you do this, why don't you do that" "I reckon you should...". Anything he says he's stuck with for the rest of his life. Any language difficulties (Hsu is American, half of us here arn't) could cause difficulties (Look at the confusion of Anand's comment about 10 times faster). This is a very very big-money project we're discussing, Hsu could become even more famous & possibly disgustingly rich. Why would he come here & risk it all. And of course, someone would surely embariss us all in some juvenile way. "Isn't it true you cheated Kasparov..." "Definitely not...." "You dum@#$% @#$%^ *&^%* idiot...." The interested parties are probably getting some feedback on what's being said & suggested here & at RGCC, and we'll certainly hear the next episode of what goes on. That's plenty for me, just another of the many wonderous soap-operas going on in chess & computer chess. I personally hang on every episode. Hi guys Tina Long
