If you admit as you say "it would work for a few games" that's all that's required, because in a swiss system, I would not be playing that person again so i just need to win once. I doubt that you can recieve any title based upon match play. So what i was saying, is that going into a swiss system tourney(excluding computer bias of the opponents, that is they would play normal chess), Fritz would get the norm, because there would be no learning of these weekneses. Most GM's get there norms at swiss systems were they don't really get to prepare for their opponents to any great extent(in the past the portable super databases we have now weren't even available). This is in great contrast to the tournaments we always here about such as Linares, Wijk aan zee, etc., that are Round robin invitationals were you know who will be there, and who you will play beforehand and thus are able to prepare. > >I know Michael, and you are correct. He is stronger then some GM's.
