We now have 4 good games vs GM players (wish the result was better than 1-3 but that will come one day). We need more... But maybe we need to start keeping up with three ratings for information's sake: blitz, action, and standard (fast, game/30 and 40/2hr type games). To actually chart how the electronic guys are doing. Game/30 is looking pretty good for the electronic players. Blitz is probably already overwhelming. Only standard (40/2 type standards) seems to still be beyond "electronic reach" so far...
