You have flaunted that Ph.D. before without much success. There's more to
analysis of results than ad-hoc guesswork and fiddling with a stats program as
you mentioned previously. A method appropriate to getting the right results
every time.

That didn't concern the question posed. But rather the obvious fact that it
isn't enough for one low rated GM to beat a chess program as proof, ie. chicken
logic.

>Perhaps your statement pertains to your "opinion"?

Just to remind you. There were three issues:

Would it be possible for low ranked GM to perform as well as Kasparov and
Kramnik with the same match conditions, ie. having a copy beforehand?

My opinion is that the answer cannot be a resounding "no" based on current data,
eg. the games plyed in the aforementioned matches.

Then I added a couple of personal opinions:

1) Whether it would be possibly for low ranked GMs to compete without special
preparation. That is debatable, which I also stated.

2) That the most interesting scientific question would be the naked engine vs.
mankind to put it simply. That is of course also a matter of opinion.

>What are your qualifications?

A math and physics degree.
