I have done some thinking about this because this comes up on ICC. You can play against an entire shopping mall full of people and it wouldn't affect the way you see the game, you still see a board in front of you on your computer at home. I wouldn't mind seeing anything that was consistent: a person, a person with ECO, a computer, a person overruling a computer, two people, etc., as long as it is fairly consistent and is describe in the account's notes if it is not one of the pure cases of one computer or one human. I think there are lots of interesting experiments waiting to be done. bruce
