Yes, I know that. >IMO Bruce's arguments make sense. Not really if you look at the specifics and yes if you look at the general picture. The rules you've posted are merely ad hoc rules, because it's virtually impossible to govern stricter rules. The lack of specific rules means that computers have unlimited possibilities through storage facilities alone, while a human player have the usual restrictions. The same applies to ordinary tournament play. Have there been any serious contemplations concerning fairness with a condensed playing schedule to name one example? No, there haven't. This should encourage persons with the belief that GMs demands unfair conditions to do a little thinking. I doubt that will happen. >You are entitled to your opinion. Thank God ;-)). Regards, Mogens
