Well, I'll take the risk. :-) I think that it's not so bad to allow action chess ratings. It should be *clear* that the ratings given are for action chess (whether this is true or not someone who receives Chess Life will have to say). It would also be good for the public to know that the programs are likely to be about one class of strength weaker in a 40/2 game, though it is probably too much to expect the magazine to actually admit it. But most people play their machine shorter games, either blitz or active, hardly ever at 40/2, so maybe it is useful to report a rating for a somewhat quicker speed. Dave Gomboc
