The quality of the chess would be quite low. For that kind of entertainment, an elemetary school chess tournament might suffice. Some might say it would be more interesting to watch people race their electric belt sanders. To me, the compelling attraction of computerchess is its potential to some day definitively define what Lasker called "the reason of chess", or at least make some asymtotic approach to that answer. Bullit chess is an idea seeminly calculated to suck the very life out of a game which is loved for its beauty and complexity. As much fun as blitz can be personally, it's not real chess in the classic intellectual sense. I think computerchess can offer more than what an extreme bullit event proposed here can offer. Just my opinion. ;-) Regards,
