Congrats Mr Nemeth but Kasparov and Kramnik played against specially prepared chess programs which were running on much faster comps. Moreover Kramnik beat the engine twice, lost twice but only after blunders (inferior moves caused mainly by tiredness.) Kasparov beat his computer opponent once, lost one game badly after a horrible blunder and drew two other games.
To sum it up the best human chess player still have the much better chess understanding but facing an engine is psychologically difficult.

There is a difference between reaching draws and a convincing win."The chess engine won against Kramnik two games and lost two games but only after blunders. Playing Kasparov the chess engine could win once after his opponent has blundered but lost once due to a wrong evaluation of the position. It is psychologically hard for the chess engine to face the best human opponents."
However, in January 2005 mankind got trashed again (This time two Grandmasters from Indonesia and two FIDE Masters). You might agree that the 14.5:1.5 final score (mankind has not won a single game) is not totally based on psychology.

I like the fact that a 2100 ranked guy was smart enough to change his strategy when facing the computer, while the much better Kasparov treated it like a human. Mr Nemeth, in this instance, was a much better strategist than Kasparov. Congrats!
