Bob, may I point out with humility that this is exactly my weak-chain argument? Finally we are on the point. Did you ever reflect what would happen if - in a really recompensating money atmosphere and - after top players adopted specific comp related chess? And that on the base of a known permanent weakness? That is the point. And not the typical hype based on show events /commercials. What is you impression with the GM play on ICC? But note, Roman D. had to face an always changed version [on the base of his own hints]. Guess what will happen if several top GM work hard on a counter strategy against comps, in other words if GM adopt 'Eduard'... Only then, and that is my argument since long, the actual commercial progs begin to SUCK. But on a permanent base! My questions to Amir went a bit in the same direction. Let's see how far the experts can open their mind. Rolf Tueschen
