I don't understand your point. GM Huebner is a active Grandmaster with a current Fide Rating of 2600+. So GM Huebner must play like a 2600+ Grandmaster at his current age, since his rating is that good. If GM Huebner loses the match to Fritz, Fritz will have beaten a standing 2600+ Fide Grandmaster. > >Forth, do you know more than Professor Hyatt? Are you a programmer?
