I see this as an experiment regarding the technology and its present level of achievement with standard equipment. I eagerly await this experiment with this gracious GM. I expect that the weaknesses in Hiarcs and my preperation of Hiarcs for this GM will be evident after the match concludes. I also expect that the match will be very competitive and Hiarcs will surprise many onlookers. I agree that this match could be valuable to the Hiarcs programmers. I think a good sense of the present state of this software will be presented (hopefully) by IM Kaufman soon at the resource center. Matt Frank
