"The world champion Magnus Carlsen won't even play his computer," Soltis says. "He uses it to train, to recommend moves for future competition. But he won't play it, because he just loses all the time and there's nothing more depressing than losing without even being in the game."
Magnus Carlsen, who's Norwegian, defends his title against Sergey Karjakin of Russia, in November. Carlsen is 25. Karjakin, 26.
They have both arrived at the highest ranks of the game in an era when a $100 chess computer can easily dispose of them both.

Is it considered unemployment if you get a 10MM check to leave? I'd call that retirement.
Yeah, everybody is aware of chess-playing computers. When Kasparov years ago claimed that he thought a computer would never beat the best human chess players, I just laughed. It's only a matter of the number of calculations. At some point, there will be a computer that essentially solves chess (white to mate in 543 moves or something like that).biobioprof said:Deep blue was 20 years ago.Threadbare said:Huh???biobioprof said:

If I buy a $100 computer to coach football, can I have the other $4,999,900 a year?biobioprof said:Deep blue was 20 years ago.Threadbare said:Huh???biobioprof said:

My thoughts exactly. This team might be in good shape in the future, and Sumlin might do well here or elsewhere in the future, but the guy has spent the last 6 years learning on the job. Yes, he's ran into problems and then ran around fixing them. However, eff that. You're paid $5 mil. You're paid to bring in results for that much, not be paid to learn.Decay said:
Also if this is part of his amazingly selfless A&M-First approach... Why was last year a "make or break, playoff-bound JUCO heavy" approach? Did he not care about the future 500 days ago?

No, I believe the game you are looking for is called "tic-tac-toe." And for some reason, he always starts in a corner.

I cant like this post more than once, but I would if I could. This is the bottom line.Tosul said:
He starts majority underclassman every year because they are better coming out of high school than they are after being developed by Sumlin. We DO NOT DEVELOP players. He has to start freshman every year because they are better than all the upperclassman that have been "in the system and developed" by Sumlin
