What would happen hypothetically if the top five humans competed at Leinden? I know some of the Hardware used at Leinden would probally put the computers over Deepblue, some may say it's impossible to know, but I think speculations is sometimes fun. Any opinions? :lol:

There would be five dead humans! Not a one would survive. The line-up of comps would be nothing more than a firing squad :cry:

We can ask Pablo to compete as well, to save the humanity with a 200 move draw. :lol:

I don't agree. If the top 5 players spent all their efforts on computer chess they would win, the computers would be dead..

They study for human games which is very different from computer games.

Terry, I am having a hard time agreeing with you. I am pretty sure Kramnik played a lot against Fritz, was he able to win a single game? Heck no.

You must think that this is the matrix and with practice the gm's (neo) could dodge all of the tactical bullets that would be coming their way, fired by the evil comps (agents). However this is not the matrix and though, I am sure the gm s would try, in the end their bodies would still be litered with the tactical bullets. I don't like this reality anymore than you do, but at this time 2007, we must face facts and not live in some utopian-like dream world ie. we *could be equal* if we tryed, Bollocks.

Who said he really prepared? He was off his game too.
