If you want to imply that Movei does not reach 2200 SSDF rating you are definetely wrong here. In fact it must be quite an effort to construct a fake list with real competitors where Movei would not reach that goal. If you said this only because it affords only 1 win in a single game, as we all know what can happen in a single game it would still be not *easy*.(in a common sense meaning of the word) Günther >>(3) 1,000 Euro for the first Palestine chess >>programmer whose baby gets 50+ percent of the >>points in an ICGA world championship. > >That is a 4 year project at least. > >anthony
