[Steve B]

for me personally odds games hold no interest

a victory against a computer with the human player receiving odds is a hollow victory at best and a circus exhibition at worst

it is like having a race with an automobile and a horse
how far ahead should the horse be allowed to start the race in order for it to have a chance at victory??

the underlying assumption of course is that the automobile is already faster on equal terms so lets see how bad it really is

rather then engage in more circus acts like this in the future
..if we are already conceding that the Engines are better then even our strongest GM's (by virtue of a match like this)..lets just separate the competition ..humans VS humans and Comps Vs Comps

if we as humans are now on the threshold of conceding defeat to the silicon monsters..lets leave the field of battle with dignity,,rather then like this..kicking and screaming and finding bizarre and unusual ways to say in the race

Pride in Defeat Regards
Steve
