	New world computer chess champ crowned - 13 July 2004 - New Scientist

		But computer chess can still contribute to research in problem solving and algorithm research.

	The Daily Dirt Chess Blog: Comment on Israeli Wins WCh Anyway (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Until the WCCC has a machine formula (like formula 1) ie a level playing field, which program "won" is meaningless.
		The focus in my opinion is that the aim of computer vs computer games is not related to an idea of "sport" but to the best use of all the available technical resources (the biggest dataBases, the quickest cpu, the best algorithms)to produce nearly perfect chess games.
		I think the only interest a chess player could have in following computer games is in discovering very good moves, the best moves tecnically available, and not to see a sport fight like a football supporter: sport I think is reserved in chess to human tournaments, computer tournaments is only science.
