Peter, Sune, I agree that many of these formulas are hard to understand how they will function. Since I play manually using a program, a simple "match" command let's me know whether I can meet their formula without having to decipher it. I have never had a problem playing Blargh at any time limit when he is open to play as long as I am within 400 points of his rating for a specified time. DHM
