I think GM Morovic will stear clear of this at all cost. This goes too far. I don't think this is the problem at all. I think any of these guys would do well against a computer. You don't know, I don't know, nobody knows, what would happen if Ferret played a GM at 40 in 2, but my money is on the GM. My money is on the GM against any micro at this time control, even those that actually tune for that time control, which I of course don't. Thanks for your support though, I enjoy hearing that from someone who has kicked my butt so many times ;-) bruce
