Ok, thanks.Point taken. For a first reaction in a hurry you found a good
argument. Also note please that I want to discuss CC and not the private person
Ed, hope this should be clear.


As for the argument you are wrong. For two reasons.

First of all chess masters usually could play for 10 hours or more. Once they
are in a game. It's also important not to be a typical (unintentional!) zeitnot
player. Second you can't force an experienced master to follow you into Blitz
mode. At least not in tournament games! This is his trained period of time for a
good game of chess.

So either you played good chess no matter in what time or you played weak chess.
But the usual masterwould never play bad chess just because you start to play
fast chess.

Let me make a prognosis. Also the DEEP FRITZ team will have some points left.
That is simply a consequence of the whole deal. Without ChessBase Kramnik
wouldn't have got the chance to take 1 million US $ with him. He's a gentleman
and will allow some draws and perhaps awin for Fritz. In football we call it the
Ehrentor, meaning the goal of honor, or for the honor of having played you...

Ed, your Rebel is one of the most experienced machine against human chess
players, but do you believe that you had a serious chance against such players,
Kasparov, Kramnik? I mean who are van der Wiel and van Wely? There is only _one_
Timman in Holland! Although he had a brother who also played chess in the old
days...
