You may well be right Uri. Junior 5 has some good credentials. Which tournament are you talking about when you say Junior 5 defeated Rebel 10? Or was this in a tournament? I did not mean to leave out other programs that might play at over 2500. I simply wanted to make the point that the top programs can play with the top GMs in the U.S. at action chess and running at 400 Mhz. > >Uri >> >>By the way.
