Hello Jim
It looks like anything less than 40/2 is not enough anymore to cope with the
likes of DJ and DF. 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.
