Hi Rolf
I agree for the simple reason that spoken for myself (1980-200O ELO) I still get
a score of about 30 percent vs the top programs, of course without playing
anticomputerchess. And if the comps should have 2700 ELO and more, it would
almost be impossible for me to get a draw. Please also have a look at
