A 100 minute per move straight-up match would be more interesting. 'Ya think so? I would have to say that Rebels search would have to be improved SOMEWHAT. Perhaps no where near Crafty's improvement over the years, however, it has been approved. If it's a "butt-blasting", then I will prove what everyone has known. Faster hardware = better chess playing. >Did you see Ed's chess in 2010 match (something like that). >Crafty was doing *very* well in it. So extending the time for Crafty and >contracting the time for the opponent will just mean a one-sided whitewash. No I didn't. Perhaps I will look into it. And maybe........just maybe....after this match, I will repeat the same with Crafty 11.x and C4. Or Shredder 6 vs Little Goliath. As you can tell, I am _very_ interested in these kind of matches.
