That has always been a possibility. I don't think that the chess software providers would be satisfied with this solution as it's very likely that most the games would be computer vs. computer anyway. They won't be able to prove anything, since there a lot of reasons why the GMs may not do their best, or treat it with sufficient severity. >Finally what about having Fritz offering with it's arificial voice the draw? Could work. Now we only need a robotic arm to make the moves. Sincerely, Mogens
