The way Khodarkovsky played I'm not so sure the extra time would have helped all that much though. He seemed to play right into the main strengths of both programs as if to say "here I am, come and get me", which of course they did. You are probably right too when you say that the players should be 2550 or higher. Otherwise silicon will make grey matter look very bad indeed. Peter
