It wasn't such a great feat for a grandmaster to do a simul against that many computers of that day. And to be honest, I didn't see any mention of how it was 32 computers with heavy hardware or if it was just a bunch of Radio Shack desktop computer. I agree, he'd take a bath against 32 comuters today. But he's pretty smart, I'm sure he wouldn't attempt a simul against 32 modern computers. Pete
