In fact I already said that (for 2600 -- I starkly disagree about 2400). From my previous message: "I will admit that having a super-GM in cahoots with Deep Blue *would* make a stronger pair -- if you had a few months to form a workable system and a few hundred games. But the risk is so enormous that only a great fool would believe an image conscious company like IBM would try a foolhardy thing like that." However: * I believe that only a super-GM would help against Kasparov. Will you trust the judgement of an IM or even a low-level GM to over-rule the machine and how will you know when to pick which suggestion? * I believe that it is far too dangerous to assume that a super-GM is going to keep his/her mouth shut forever about it. There is simply no way that IBM would ever take a risk like that. * I believe that suggesting that IBM cheated is a slam on the whole IBM team and completely classless and spineless. * I believe that repeating the claim without substantiation is a libelous, classless, base act. I think it is disgusting, repulsive, apalling. I find it very surprising that some regulars in this forum will give credence to such utter stupidity. (I'm not talking about you -- you obviously did not try to support that position). [snip]
