I am not really familiar with computerchess events and experiments prior to 1998 unfortunately as I only started to follow the development then . Youzr current Scrappy experiment is getting old as you pointed out yourself . Scrappy and Crafty are idle often enough that another experiment which would interest me very much would be feasible . Set your formula to one neutral , allow-anyone-over-2000 one , like Postmodernist's : formula = "autocolor & (unrated | (rating >= 2000)) & registered & !freeweek & !timeodds & (time > 0) & ((!blitz) | time > (inc-5)) & ((wild=0) | (wild=5))" This is already slightly changed : PM allows 1800+ but I think this doesn't make too much sense in general ( there _are_ some very able anti-comp players at that very low rating range but there are lots more of time-wasting experiences at this low end ) . Crafty is expected to do very well against the anti-comps low-rated masters like the great "kako" et al . I am positive you've been there and done that but it has been _that_ long ago ; so it has been forgotten or never seen by some newbies. Seeing some of them playing against the computers has always been a good cure for hyperbole and a valid entry to the "computers are GMs" discussion to my experience . You have made big efforts as I have learned here to teach your program how to do much better than others in this category but you rarely have shown your program's ability recently . This would be a really interesting approach for the scrappy account ; much more interesting than your "rating pig" ( Moreland expression ) "competition" with "spitfire" . I hope you don't get me wrong - this message is dead serious , appreciates your achievements very much and is one _most_ serious begging for a possible and very interesting event to follow. pete
