its true today even 3 months is a long time for a PC program to remain number one the old computers at least remained on top for a year until the next WC but back then i think people bought the computers not so much to play one against the other..but to play against the computers themselves today very few play against the engines but rather pit one engine against the next and they themselves do not play to this day..i fail to see the interest in this..but many have this interest i believe this difference is due to how one begins their interest in chess from the beginning if they start by playing chess then the interest in computer chess is mainly to play the computer when you and i first learned the moves there were no computers we played against humans i played first against my friends and then in tournaments and then correspondence when i began my professional career when the dedicated computers arrived i played against them but today i think many start their interest in chess with the Engines and from day one they play one engine against the next IMO those that do not play the game themselves but only one engine against the next are missing the essence and beauty of the game which no other game can provide to play chess and use your own mind..even if you lose..is better then to not play at all and only watch idly as a fan watching a baseball game Random Thoughts Regards Steve
