Do I detect a note of sarcasm? :-)

After playing over some of the ACM games
I think I can safely say that noone need worry
about a mechanical grandmaster in the near future.

What was the name of Botvinnik's book?
"Computers, Chess, and Long Range Planning"?
It looks like the machines haven't gotten to
the long range planning part yet.

Anyway, thanks very much Ken for posting the games.
(Where is Belle these days?)

I advise those who claim that the human mind is a Turing
machine to play over some of these games.
