There is still a great deal of interest in the match as the third poll shows, regardless of the match conditions.Terry McCracken wrote:Indeed!

Well i dont know if we can characterize 18 out of 31 members saying there are looking forward to the match..as a "great deal of interest"Graham Banks wrote:There is still a great deal of interest in the match as the third poll shows, regardless of the match conditions.Terry McCracken wrote:Indeed!

especially in a chess computer forum where on principal almost everyone should be interested in it
if the match were really eagerly anticipated by the members here i would have expected to see something like 80-90% of those voting
two votes the other way and you have basically half those voting not even looking forward to it
i would call this more of a mild almost passing interest
En Passant Regards

The vote percentage expressing interest in the match is currently a little higher than those saying they'd prefer normal match conditions, so I guess using your principle, we can't read too much into that either?
Riposte regards, Graham.

Re: Rybka v Ehlvest rematch
/snip
however if you want to start a poll at least ask the right question
such as..
who would you rather see play?
Ehlvest
Nakamura
Benjamin
and another poll
would you prefer the match be played on these terms or normal match terms
the questions will dictate the response Regards
Steve[/quote]
The questions will dictate the response
six grandmasters accepted the challenge
Nakamura, Ehlvest, Benjamin, Berg, Kogan, Kudrin
in your example of a "right" question - three of these
players were sadly left out...
