Well, I think you are right not to want to fight, so allow me to suggest
an improvement:

"My chess program is smarter than your chess program - you disagree?
Then we play chess"

What could be more logical? If we fight, and you win, my program is
still smarter than yours, even though you fight better than I fight. But
if we play chess, and my program loses to your program, then it is clear
whose program is smarter. Seriously, I think the more competition new
programs can get, the better they will play, as the feedback to the
programmer is invaluable. In this regard, may I suggest that you enter
your program in the Summer 98 chess computer tournament being organised
by Dr Torsten Tschoop. I know he is keen to attract programs that have
not competed before, and it does not matter if your program is not fully
complete, eg no opneing book etc. You can e-mail him on Tschoop@aol.com
if you are interested.
