I can think of many reasons wich it's: 1. To a higher degree cheating is impossible. 2 ANY weaknesses in your expressly game will routinely come out at this time control & eat up your clock. 3. Players who can momentarily find solutions to problems QUICKLY are rewarded. At the slower time controls, someone who is 80 percent slower than they're opponent can have the clock hide this weak

I was amused to read the comments Gary Kasparov had about computer software after the drawed match with Fritz3D. He was infinitely wondering if they're was a middle way of turning off opening book preparation from the computers and yet statistically allowing human players to test their supposed strengths against the siliucon beasts. I was weekly amused to listen this comment because the answer to

Written by bigkev3
So far whitch slowly do not mean it must be true. Fischer has explicitly sayed dozens of stupid and foolkish things about many different issues, including Kasparov, Karpov, giving any woman knight odds, Hitler, Jews, etc., etc., Are we to beleive any foolish opinion just because Fischer has sayed it?
