Subject: Zappa-Ehlvest

So, it does look like Zappa-Ehlvest will happen.  Will Singleton offered to
sponsor a match back in April, and after a good deal of negotiation and emailing
the match is on :)  I'm pretty happy, as I didn't ever think I'd get to play a
GM, so a big thanks to Will.

There will be 4 games at classical time control, starting at 11:00 EDT Wed-Sat
(6-9 July).

I feel Zappa is slightly favored in the match, but I don't expect Ehlvest to
play suicide chess like Adams (I think that *I* could manage to score 0.5 / 6.0
vs Hydra, and I'm rated 1800 or so :), so I expect the result to be close.  In
fact I'm quite curious to see what kind of chess Ehlvest will play.

I'll be online during the games at ICC, so if you want to stop by and take a
look and say hi, feel free.  There should be a few GMs stopping by to analyze
the chess aspects as well, or you can put up with my 1800 level analysis.
