So impostering should be forbidden already out of self-respect. All tricks which are meant to exercise psychological confusion should be regarded as insult against computer chess itself. Consquence: That means by logic that all the Wch shows and super GM hype "bye-bye" from now on. There are plente of strong IM and experts who would be glad to play the machines. Second Law: Opening books should never contain lines a program can't "understand" simply because the key is too deep in the tree. So also such pretension should be regarded as insult against the moral of CC. (NB that I'm not being asked for giving my specific ideas for new chess topics in CC programming. But I think that the ideas of Roay are fantastic. I saw that Ed already agreed although he's the famous addict of night long autoplayer games instead of human vs comp test.) Rolf Tueschen
