That is one way of doing it, but I'm quite sure that a lot of GMs wouldn't consent to playing against a crippled version once they've lost to the full version. That would be considered an insult for most of the players IMO. Once the computer program wins, no matter the configuration, tournament chess between computers and human players will be a thing of the past. Sincerely, Mogens
