In addition, anyone can match it unrated at anytime. The takeback idea is interesting, but if unlimited takebacks with time are allowed, then the game might be a long one. As an experiment, I'll do this: I'll allow two takebacks per unrated game, but the time keeps running. And I'll make sure it's in the finger notes so no one knows about it :) btw, Amateur plays a very good opening and middle game, but a lousy endgame (not surprisingly, since I don't know much about endgames myself). Just get to the endgame and you've got a good chance. Will
