This is good. Chess System Tal was a most unsound but entertaining opponent, and anything to get away from my "horror scenario" of the computer chess world championship in five years time: Game 1: White departure from book on move 27 of a Sicilian Scheveningen, leading by a long forced sequence to entry into a six-game tablebase position at move 118 and checkmate at move 151 (total calculation time 0.32 seconds). Game 2: World audience of five people observed to be, without exception, asleep at their keyboards. Alastair
