First Dr. Hyatt is away for a week. So he won't even see you message! Didn't you read he was off for a holiday? Second, GM John van der Wiel played a very short match with Rebel Century, and the first time he'd ever lost a match to computer, and that was by a mere point. GM John van der Wiel is an excellent player but not a 2600+ GM, at least not at present. Yet he could turn a second match with Rebel Century around I'm sure. Not putting down Rebel, it's an excellent chess program, but not a World Class GM 2600+, at least not yet!;) Third, GM Huebner isn't a young man anymore, so I doubt he can play like he is! Forth, do you know more than Professor Hyatt? Are you a programmer? Better yet are you a GM?? I don't know anything about you odell hall with the exception, you could show a little more respect! As for the todays' game GM Huebner played Black and brought about a draw on move 23! So we'll see for fun how the rest of the very short match will go;) Myself, I don't think tiny matches such as these have any great value in determining whether a program has reached the GM level, only that these programs can give a GM a good fight, and may win from time to time. Give both technology and programming another 5 years and I believe by then we'll have _solid_ GM 2600+ chess playing monsters! Terry
