I know, but there's a difference in knowing for certain that it'll be one of two programs now and receiving various updates the last three months before the match. There's also the question of opening books, which seems slightly unclear. So using the commercial version wouldn't work, while the solution sketched in the announcement might. All depending on exact details naturally. >OK well anyway this portion of the conversation was about public acceptance >and got onto this line.

I have more faith and trust :-) in the public when it comes to discerning the differences between a "real" match and something that everyone can do (at least in principle). Mogens.
