Maybe a math wiz here would give their opinion. > >Best Wishes The strong point of the previous posting is the recognition that GM's are extremely vulnerable, they make mistakes and many more when the time control is near. I have played enough matches in the between time to notice the pattern. All the excuses after a lost game by the GM are as valid as the programmer making his excuses. All of them don't count. Better say, the computer was better today and vice versa. Also these 8 games are not at 40/2:00, it was offered to Gulko, refusing was a capital mistake, I have said that before the match. Ed
