I might add >that I spoke with him on ICC and do not know the man personally. I think people offered to chip in some money to watch Ferret play that GM a month or so ago that fell through. Maybe they would chip in some money to watch Ferret play an IM. I for one would rather see a Computer Vs Grandmaster match. Its pretty clear from Aegon and the Hiarcs match that microcomputer programs can play and win against IM's on P 200 computers. I thinks its time to step up, but you have to take what you can get when playing titled players.
