It depends in large part on a) the comp program losing on time violation OR b) the comp program losing around move 256 due to a bug / limitation in the Chessbase GUI When "Father" recently played Zappa in a 60min+15sec he lost all 3 games that I saw. IMHO he has very little chance to win in long time formats. Draws are possible if the postition becomes very blockaded. I found it amusing that "Father" commented today on playchess speculating that Junior would lose its game in 256 moves. I guess he assumed that the CB GUI bug was everywhere. Of course if the players at Bilbao were using playchess then there wouldnt be any need for a site relay would there Father ? LMAO
