Most is already agreed on.  "1997 program/hardware" is pretty clear.  I know
the hardware I used that year.  And for the 1997 WMCCC event there is a clear
public record of the version number and the hardware used.  The number of games
doesn't matter.  0-1 or 0-12 is about the same thing...  Time control is
blitz, by his definition.  that is normally 5 0, but I had said I would agree
to 5 3 to make it "slower blitz."

There is little else to agree on except for a date.  I don't care when.  But
I suspect the date that is used will be "never" because he _knows_ it is a
crock of a statement.
