It would have been _far_ better had the 10-game match be played out, because unfortunately it has added a new "urban legend" by leaving the perception that 10x speed meant little. A word of importance. I _rarely_ enter into such a contest without having a _good_ idea of how things will go. :) I have participated in multiple such "handicap" events, but I simply don't post the results as that causes long threads that accomplish nothing. But I'm always willing to either participate directly on ICC, or whatever, if someone wants to test a hypothesis, particularly one I don't believe is true. A "few" would like to perpetuate the myth that the commercial programs are simply "way beyond" the amateur programs. I'm a big fan of the "myth busters" on the discovery channel. This is a good myth to debunk. They are no doubt better, but they are not _that_ much better, regardless of claims, posturing, etc...
