That depends on the format of the contest I suppose, but I don't there's a big difference between the top programs, so it shouldn't matter. >We don't want ClubK mucking it up now do we, & I'm sure Frans, Ed, Dr Bob et al >et al, would like to be there in 2001. > >What do you recommend we do about this Team? >We could be cynical & argue about it. I'd like to take the cynical stand that I'll believe it when it happens. If it don't happen, I'll be just as happy. No need to clutter the human chess championship with computers, because the championships have been messy enough the past few years. I have a sneaky suspicion that they open the doors for computers due to financial reasons. How much will the match be worth for Deep Junior or Fritz? A bidding war could be fun. Best wishes... Mogens
