Anyway, the GM would kick my ass without Hiarcs and I have no chance in hell against Hiarcs, unless I totally lobotomize it!! :-). Thanks for being a good sport with a sense of humour. Honestly, I think the match will be really decent chess, fun to watch on, kibbutz about and analyze in depth. Best regards, Matt Frank
