'Want a stronger GM'? Geez. This guy is a former World Champion. GM Smyslov has
forgotten more about chess than most 2600's know about it. In addition,
Smyslov's magnificent positional style, and depth of experience more than
compensate for any loss of rating. Smyslov's positional style should prove an
excellent test for Rebel. I think this should be a wonderful match. Even if
Smyslov is 'only' a 2500, nobody has conclusively proven that a single-processor
micro is significantly stronger than that at 40/2. I think this is wonderful
news, and greatly look forward to this match.
