I think a result of 3:2 is more realistic than 5:1,assuming he doesnot outplay the computer in the opening because of a bad opening-book. In order to achieve this result he would have to use at least one computer by his own in order to check his move for tactical blunder. He would have to force the computer to play an opening where he is an expert (otherwise he will loose the competition), this must be a quiete opening with tactical possibilities. I recall that i played against one very stong CC-player i had the impression that my counterpart is using fritz. So i decided in one position to make not the best move , where i knew that Fritz doesn;t find the best countermove (not the best , using a correct answer it would have been draw) . As expected my opponent played the Fritz-move (probably he did run Fritz for 3 days only, but didn't analyzed with the computer) and some moves later i could sacrifice my knight and win the position. This sacrifice i found before i played the second-best-move. But this kind of scenario is in my opinion very rare. Usually the choice of opening decides the outcome of a CC-game (who is more familiar with the position) >Are there people with fast hardware that can give their computers to play >against him(we need 6 different fast computers when Tansel Turgut does not >know the programs that he is playing). > >Uri
