My remark was in response to Rolf's that "A chesscomputerprogram plays the best chess out of itself". I guess it's not so important, But even to have an operator making the moves for the program is against Fide rules. This brings up an interesting subject that most people neglect. What should the rules be for man vs machine events. Clearly the current rules are not adequate. Regards Tony
