Default Bobby Fischer has been reinstated in the USCF

Apparently, Mr. Parr, in attempting to prop up something
Evans never should have written, is willing to settle for the
stated "opinion" of a 2500 player over extensive analysis by
his betters.

On the other hand, the introduction of computer analysis
is quite interesting, for we all know that as ignorant as they
may be, computers have zero bias. Speaking of zero, that
is the precise quantity which GM Evans stated represented
the advantage obtained by Spassky, just before Fischer
went bonkers with the blunder, Bxh2. Now in view of this,
I think it would be interesting to punch this exact position
into the strongest programs available, to see what they
"think". Near-Innes, a famous IM, recently acquired a
killer program called Rybka, circa 2900+ FIDE. Unfortunately,
he is controlled by the minions of evil, so such objective
analysis will "somehow never happen", much like a certain
rematch. I have handy a program called Arena, but it is
undoubtedly a patzer in comparison to others.

----------

Thought for the day: if in fact the position before/after/during
/around Bxh2 was so very "dead", then why would any sane
man play on, and not offer a draw? Also, the question
remains as to why Fischer played on. (Zap!)
