We have a "contest" open to anybody, in which they can win a free copy of the program if they can draw the Chessmaster personality. The time control is 1/sec per move, meaning that CM AVERAGES one second per move, and the human has as long as he/she wants. Pondering IS on, though. A GM named Julio Becerra (from what I was told, at one time the Cuban National Champion and currently one of the strongest blitz players on ICC) played twice. He lost the first time, and then took the program seriously the second time. He was able to acheive a tough draw in the second game. Sadly, because children's fingers are faster than mine, I was not able to save any of the games before the next kid in line pressed "New Game". :-( jm
