What I'm saying is look at the criticism of the match in order to avoid those criticisms in your own event. The most notable that come to mind was that there were not enough games in the match, and the ridiculous arguement about how IBM didn't turn over the computer logs to Garry's people fast enough. I'm not really sure how many GM/computer matches there've been that've been of noticable "event" like status, I think that would be a desirable result to create a high profile match, and not one with yet another basically unknown GM against a computer program that somebody has. That's why it seems _new_ to me, and we're not talking about this happening in conjunction with a major company like IBM, or Ed's Rebel matches. I don't know enough about the history of Chess program/GM matches though to be honest. Pete
