I would find it interesting. I would also request if you were to do this that you add CSTal to the mix, as I have a theory that it would do well with an increase in speed, as would MChessPro, and to some extent Rebel. I think it would be dramatically better, but it is only a theory. >Alternatives? As above. >Or better play the normal (10 game) 40/2:00 matches? If this is in lieu of the CCL, then, by all means, do the regular games. Keep up the good work. I know you prefer Computer-human games, but they are few and far between these days. kp
