All GM's are dangerous, plain and simple.

You're correct, most people here haven't a clue about top young and often
relatively unkown GM's that play Bullet Chess and often beat comps. on ICC.
Not to say older and even some old GM's are not impressive!
Beating them at 3 0 is most impressive!

Dr. Hyatt, could you give a list of the best GM's and some IM's too that play
well against comps. at ICC?

Thanks!

Regards,
 Terry
