So you're saying you tied up the resources of a multi-million dollar computer just to have a "for fun" match against genius? I didn't realize computer time on mainframes was that easy to come by. >I'd suspect Hsu did the same. They told me about the match months after it had >been done.

I don't file those >games away... what would be the reason? No reason at all to save games like this, I can play the same programs at the kitchen table. But on the rare occasions when one has access to "big iron" I would think any game would be worth recording. Just my opinion Peter
