The Dutch national will have a stronger version of the >program and faster hardware. I hope the operators are prepared. You are right that the hardware is faster relative to the israeli league. I do not know of an operator mistake in computer-human games in the Israeli league. The only operator mistakes in the Israeli league that I know about are my mistakes in the game Rebel-shredder and the mistakes of the operators in the game Fritz-shredder when Fritz's operator offered a draw and shredder's operator did not accept the offer and lost the game. Do you know about an operator mistake of Fritz against humans in the Israeli league? I saw that Fritz did not use tablebases in the Israeli league but I doubt if tablebases could help it. Uri
