There seems to be a mild lack of logic in this response. Firstly, GMs that
play puters there are rare; Secondly, were they to get into time trouble as an
excuse for losing, why the afinity for 3/0 games and don't play any longer
ones?; Thirdly not all puters at ICC are automatic nor do they all have
egtbs{those don't get played much either}; Finally; the Israeli league has shown
no one anything pertaining to active puters running at ICC {what did they beat?
... 1350 rated microprocessors?}
