Good suggestion there Gerd !
I would like to see the authors of strong programs (preferably the winners of
WCCC :) ) play against their own programs ! - Note : no last minute dumbing down
of programs allowed ;)

If nothing , it might tell us humans how to combat their programs :( - too tough
to beat most of them ... even with book and egtb and pondering disabled and at
timeodds :(
