Lots of Luck! >Jim Walker I must disagree with you. I believe that one makes his own luck! Besides, from an amateur point of view, luck is always a factor in anything in life !!! So getting to the point, the operators are the key in winning these type of championships. The key is in the opening preparation, and the ability to select the correct opening against a particular computer engine. Super GM does that all the time against their fellow GM, and when Kasparov wins a super tournament is it to luck that he beats his fellow peers? Remember that GM Kasparov won 3 super strong tournaments this year. Was it luck then? :) Laurence
