For a while now everyone has been argung two points. Is the operator a passive or an active factor in computer chess. What about a related manner. From the pictures I saw the games were ultimately played on boards. I also believe there were standard chess clocks used for the official timing (could be wrong here). What happens if a program loses on time because of excessive lag on the operators part during the game. The program thinks it has say 1 minute left and the clock says the game is forfeited. I realize that the operators probably anticipate a certain lag when the programs are set up and run, but what happens if things go wrong? Is the game forfeit or not due to the operator? Bob
