Re: Chess vs. Poker vs. Computer

Oh, Strega, you'll have to make exceptions for Fischer and Tal here, I believe, and maybe Capablanca. IIRC, Fischer destroyed his opponents, some of who were highly regarded in their own right, in a multi-board match, no?
I'd rank that as a pretty good gauge of whether Fischer could beat Deep Blue.

No not really, I played Tal in a simul and crushed him, he's only human. Kasparov played multi board matches as you call it with much higher players most of them International Master level and won. Fischer, Kasparov or Tal have never crushed their peers in a simul, it never happen. The point I was trying to make it that folks are tossing around that computers beat weak player slower than master do and that’s just false. Computers excel at tactics, and exploit any small tactical advantage over weak opponents, humans tend to play positional concepts or “flawed tactics” and in most cases a computer will crush a weak human quicker than a solid master would, that's just the way it rolls.
