Including me. But I hope it doesn't eventually provide the answer key.
I think Fischer has a point with his random chess.

Hahaha! Of course I agree! And very soon a computer would be powerful
enough to solve chess for good. And then we'll all be playing go.

When a computer solves chess it will be no good to me when I play
OTB chess. Chess will survive.

Just thought that if I had no assurance that the other guy isn't using
one, there must be a tournament out there which allows it.
BTW, once in a game against a computer I had Fritz 4 coaching me.
There was one move which it couldn't see. A nice bishop sacrifice. I
ignored Fritz's more conservative suggestions and tried it. True
enough the position that came out was in my favor even according to
Fritz's analysis of the new position.
I guess we humans still have something over these machines.

FYI, Hydra is slightly stronger than your fritz 4 running on a 386.

Try Fritz 8 or CM10 and it will see the sac.
