I have posted one of Nemeth's games as "game of the month" on my homepage and i am quite aware that he knows what he is doing!! but so far i have only seen blitz games from him on slow hardware, which brings me to another point: you say that it does not matter if the comp is a 1000 Mhz or a 100 Ghz?? well i am certain that a 100 Ghz comp would not get itself into those positions you talk of!!
