Expensive chess code. Also it seems to use forward pruning in combination with nullmove, which is very dangerous, as that prunes all positional things away. Nevertheless, Ed has the courage to play a 2531 rated grandmaster with computer-human experience whereas others go for blitz against 2700 rated players, because if you lose then you still don't look bad. I can't imagine mcs nor chessbase organizing a match against a 2531 rated grandmaster, simply because imagine what happens if they lose! Greetings, Vincent
