This was the match. 8 games: 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1 I changed the title because the original title was bad. I am uneasy with the scoring of these matches, because the blitz games are weighted more heavily than the rest of the games. This was a blitz match, an active match, and a standard match rolled into one, with half the total scoring coming from the blitz match. If someone did a blitz match against a GM, I think they wouldn't get much attention even if they won by a huge score, because people would say, "so what, that was a blitz match." Please don't misinterpret, this was a great result for Rebel. I would have been have been very happy to have had my program score as well in any of the match segments as Rebel did, and Ed is to be congratulated. But this was not a match at 40/2, folks. That is still out there as the *big* challenge for a micro. bruce
