Without the “anti-computer” strategy, how do you think that the top >players in the world would fare in this scenario? What do you think the >hardware’s ELO would be in this case? A reasonable assumption would be that the computer program would perform better, unless the human opponent is experienced when it comes to playing against programs and somehow recognizes the playing style. But it's not very important, because the scenario is implausable (Who should the player with the earpiece be?). I have a question of my own. Would a computer have a significant advantage playing blindfold chess? ;o)) Best wishes... Mogens
