are you saying anand had access to a computer cluster as well?

Avatar of Scottrf

I'm saying what I said.

Yeah, but, it's totally unfair if they are well rested, eat healthy, get some exercise, and generally study up on the game.  They should just show up tired, out of shape, groggy from food / drink abuses, and take their chances.

Exactly. It's not like Anand doesn't have the money for it...

Supercomputer is a bit of a stretch. She says the capacity he used in preparation for the match equals about 10-20 laptops. 

Any player showing up to the WCC without using such tool should not have the IQ to qualify.

Avatar of JamesCoons

Any computer company in India would likely let Anand use a computer for free in exchange for his endorsement.

The only thing anand would need to supplement is b12, hell, if carlsen isn't a vegan that puts HIM at a disadvantage...

How would not being a vegan be a disadvantage? At least he wouldn't be at risk of collapsing during the game or having gas that smells like rotten cabbage...

Carlsen IS an engine.

Anyone can use supercomputers today, with the new engine cloud technology. google "deep Fritz 13" + "let's check", you only will have to pay a fee for remotely using the supercomputers, which are provided from the owners when they don't need them for their own works.  you don't have to own the supercomputer yourself nowadays, to use it for chess.

Carlsen doesn't cheat using a supercomputer.

Supercomputers cheat, using Magnus Carlsen!

Avatar of Fritzlange

One of the commentators today was saying that you can't find a Carlsen move over the last few years that warrants a question mark.  The cyborg in Terminator Salvation was called Marcus.  Coincidental similarity with the name 'Magnus'? I think not.  Time for an x-ray I think.

Avatar of Fritzlange

Yeah, ok I am ripping off the guy who had a pic of Magnus done up to look like Terminator.  So sue me!

Magnus should play a supercomputer make up for kasparovs defeat
