I also think it would take more work then what GM Morovic wanted to do to get ready for Ferret and have good chances of winning, because I think, GM Morovic thinks Ferret most likely plays at a GM level. If GM Morovic thinks he could of just gone online and played Ferret and won, without much prep, I think the match would have been played. It has been my findings playing GM's with computers, that the love to play you when they think they can win easy, but when they find this not to be so, they avoid you like the plague. and your enthusiasm reduces further, while the enthusiasm of the person >who convinced you to do the thing increases, because they also come to realize >how much you've agreed to do for them. > >bruce
