But that was enough to defend the title. hi lars, i know. but after that they played a second match, which chinook won. i was referring to that one. so technically my sentence above is correct :-) - it just omits the first drawn match vs. lafferty in between the tinsley match and the second lafferty match. i left this out because i was answering the guy who felt chinook hadn't *really* won the match. it finally won the match against the top human in the end, although that wasn't tinsley any more... to be accurate, tinsley was still alive during the second lafferty-chinook match (he died about 3 months later) - but lafferty was the best active human player at that time. more on the chinook-lafferty match #2: http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/~chinook/matches/1995/Petal/description.php cheers martin
