I agree that would be the purest test. However, I've come to learn that we don't
live in pure world, so I and the GM have agree to prepare in any way that we
wish. I think in some ways that this test will really demonstrate the power of
the program presently. Remember that IM Deen Hergott prepared against Hiarcs
before his martch with a second and still lost!!
