Frankly, I think you have no clue what you are talking about here, so it's hard to argue with you. In case you are interested to take my challenge, please contact me by email once you find the time and your yearly tournament is finished. I am willing to take this challenge as explained previously with the black pieces with any of the following engines: Shredder, Junior, Fritz, Hiarcs or Tiger - you can choose engines for me; I will use default settings otherwise(only hash adapted). You can use whatever engine you want with white. I propose a longer time control as these are more popular with readers, and we should do something like four games (just a proposal). Kind regards, Peter
