Would that >convince you? 1)I did not think about yace when I said that not many amateurs can beat plam tiger on 486. I responded to the claim that comet is not good at fast time control. A program that is not good at fast time control cannot beat palm tiger on 486. 2)I also thought about programs like Nejmet and I doubt if Nejmet with 4xspeed advantage can beat GambitTiger. > >>Kasparov is going to beat every player that is not a GM when you give kasparov >>half of the time or every 2 no GM players in a simultan.

Otherwise it means that I have no chances to get even to the level of the best amateurs. I also think that 100 elo in human chess is not much. Of course there is a big difference between 2700 players and kasparov but 2700 players do not call themselves amatuers. Uri
