You mentioned the possible use of a P400 MHz intel machine if available. The K6-300 may be out then also with the 100 MHz bus speed, smaller die size and running cooler (therefore a chance at safe overclocking). Whatever machine is used it is an excellent achievement to get such a player as Anand to agree to the match. Is there some financial incentive for Anand to play? I do hope the two 40/2 games go off as scheduled. These longer controls will be the most telling for the match. I might as well make a prediction. 2.5-1.5 for Rebel in the 5 min blitz, 1-1 in the 15 min games and 2-0 for Anand in the 40/2. I'll most likely be wrong as my record at guessing the Deep Blue/ Kasparov match was off. I also thought the internet match of GM's vs 5 or 6 computer programs last year would be an overwhelming victory for the GM's but the reverse was true. One uncanny strength of computers is that they are so difficult to deliver the knockout punch as they defend so damn well.
