While I do not mean to besmirch Uri's chess ability by any means, he is not a
master. It is easy to talk big, and even easier when you hide behind Internet
anonymity and have engines and chess material (databases, etc.) to back you up.
All that talk about "having more RAM than you would believe", Fruit's passivity,
and of course his ease, not in one game but in general, to beat it, does NOT
sound like the talk of a genuine top player. It sounds much more like someone
trying to convince others they are blasé about their strength. The problem is
that real super strong players are usually confident enough in themselves to not
need such talk. That type of presentation is usually that of insecure people.
I'll tell you straight out. In my opinion, if he was a GM who had really wanted
to discuss the engine's perceived faults, I think the first thing he would have
done would be to establish his strength and status in no uncertain way, and then
explained the issues he found with the engine. That way the focus of the
discussion would be on the topic and not himself. There would NOT be all those
games on who he really was, and was he as strong as he suggested.
I think he was a fraud.
