You forgot something. The WC is games that are 40/2 time control. This match was at a much faster pace -- greatly favoring computers. I think Khalifman would trounce any computer in a long match at 40/2. He's not nearly as good as these guys (something like 40-60th in the world IIRC) but he's well over 2600 ELO, which is nothing to shake a stick at. If the WC was at stake, you can believe he would buy a copy of Deep Junior and practice a hundred games against it. >----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > >Programmers! >If DB or DJ could write a book on chess, I would buy it!
