I didn't count, but I think the most numbers of computer wins over GM's at full time come from Aegon. There's also Rebel-Yusupov, and I think I remember at least one time with Fritz (Glek ?). My own contribution is Gofshtein (1994) and Kossashvili (1996). There are only several GM-computer games played each year, but the computers have decent percentages, which is not surprising since they are playing at the strong-IM/GM level nowadays. Matches ? There weren't any. OK, there was Rebel-Yusupov, and Junior-J.Polgar (which I lost). These things don't happen because there's no money. The truth is that there was only one company that would put up a million dollars to drag the world champion to its back yard, and even it lost interest now. I know from experience that even a few thousand dollars is next to impossible to get. We are trying to organize a Polgar rematch without success for two years, and there are plans to organize a Junior-Alterman match which proceed smoothly until money is discussed. Most GM wins at non-blitz ? I have eight: Gofshtein, Bikhovsky, Har-Zvi (twice), Liss, Finkel, J.Polgar, Kossashvili, plus a few draws including Yudasin. Amir
