Subject: O.K., programmers, what are you going to do about Eduard Nemeth?

He seems to have replaced John van der Wiel as the leading computer killer (at
least on this board).  Rebel managed to overcome van der Wiel's anti-computer
chess style and beat him in a challenge match.  Since Ed Schroeder has retired
from playing challenge matches against humans, is there anyone with a copy of
Rebel Century 4.0 and a fast computer (sorry, mine's only 500 MHz) and would
want to challenge Mr. Nemeth to a match?

But more importantly, are programmers looking at his games and trying to figure
out how to combat his particular anti-computer chess?  Or is his anti-computer
chess nothing special and can be used by most top GM's?  If he can't be beaten
by comps then there is no point in even bothering to hold the Kramnik vs. Fritz
match.

Obviously if the holy grail of computer chess is to someday produce programs
that can surpass human world champions then first of all anti-anti-computer
chess has to be perfected.
