I thought a fictitious Harvard Cup would involve picking which humans & computer's would be in it, basing it on the setup that was traditionally used in past Harvard cup events. My picks would be, Human's: Playing programs: 1. Benjamin 1.Shredder (of course) 2. Rohde 2.Fritz5 3. Christiansen 3.Hiarcs7.32 4. Yermolinsky 4.Nimzo99 (or 2000) 5. Fedorowicz 5.CM6000 (of of course) 6. Gulko 6.CS Tal II for Windows (A real wild card) I might have suggested Kamsky as a good choice among humans, but we don't know if he will ever play again or would hypothetically be available (even in an immagined event!), here. Also Seirawan would be a good choice, but he has never played in the Harvord cups in the past. (Probably has lot to do with his schedule & placement on the west coast). The playing programs are the most notible ones (Did I forget any that are killer's?), available at the moment, so this would be a dream event. If only they still set these things up. Was it because they felt the programs were finally going to win that it was discontinued? mrslug - the chess software addict!
