Perhaps. I just love to see computers stomp
their creators. Helps me believe the singularity
might actually happen in time to save us from
our murderous selves.

Ja, but game 6 was a hell of a struggle, eh?
That second game also had some sharp stuff
played. Fritz' handlers gave up too early.

Oh, ok, but either way, I want to see the sweat
that carbon units are so famous for. I want
to see the air-breathing commie lifeform squirm.
A couple of kicks here: the masters are now
saying that Kramnik resigned game 6 in a
drawn position! {8^D Shades of Kasparov vs
Deep Blue game 2.

I see this as revenge for the early resignation
by Fritz's huuuuman caaaarbon-based team in a
position which still had some fight left in it.
It should have been played out longer: the Iceman
might have melted under pressure. Hey, he did in
game 5.
The next kicker is that Fritz started
the match a 50 to 1 underdog. (Undermachine?)
Now the bookies are cutting bets at even
money! {8^D Ahhhh, is this a great day
to be alive or what? spike
ps, is anyone here old enough to remember
Bobby Fischer? 30 years ago he said that the
computers are coming, guys, they *will* slay
us one day. Not one person believed it; all
he got was derisive laughter, for Fischer was
insane, don't you know. s
