I don't want to see this place turn into a place where we have daily countdowns to the date a product ships. >I'm sure we'll all be more interested in the exact implementation if he has a >good result against Anand. If there's a bad result, we won't care. I don't care that much either way. I'm not after Ed here because there is a piece of specific knowledge that I want. I don't think that a "hype" discussion should be presented in the guise of a "technical" discussion though. If you read through the technical responses this has gotten, there have been a lot of guesses as to what Ed is talking about. Is this how a thread should go here? If Ed wants to start a thread on this feature, then let's discuss the feature, not make guesses about it. >I expect a loss for Rebel against Junior tomorrow, if indeed anti-GM involves >speculative (less than optimum) play. I wouldn't expect too much from any one game no matter what Ed has done. One game doesn't validate a feature or cast significant doubt upon a feature. I think people should just enjoy the game rather than turning it into some sort of political struggle. bruce
