Come on now, we've discussed this many times before... But we havn't had a clear suggestion as to who would clearly do better. Well, I am suggesting Omid from CTF,CCC. Or am I wrong? The fact that there might be a few big GM's who might possibly get half a point more than Kasparov or Kramnik was never such a funny idea, but Omid? 70%? Don't worry about about being "toasted" in open positions, I didn't understand that Kasp. or Kram. allowed such positions either. S.Taylor
