Master class

[Thomk]

It occurred to me that there are a lot of smart people on this forum (lots of idiots too of course) who are experts in their field - and wouldn't it be nice to have thread "master classes" where the expert could answer questions from interested cyclist types. Things that I might be interested in: police, parliament, pro musician, sewerage worker, chimney sweep, air traffic controller, pilot etc. not to mention unknowns and unknown unknowns.

So I'm going to start one here on chess!

Who's winning out of machines and humans these days?

 

[Thomk]

Machines by a mile and they have been for quite a few years. The difference is exaggerated with quick time limits.

PS I didn't make it clear (sorry) but this is not the chess thread it's the master class thread (I'm no expert on threads as you can see)

I know an awful lot about digital printing and less so about litho printing and am always willing to answer about that but nobody really asks!

Are you sure you have the correct name for the thread Master Class? Maybe it should be Master...........

PS. I could do a class in cake making and eating of said cake.
