Yes it is an advantage to the GM's no doubt, but there is no way to police the GM. I would still play the GM, this makes every draw and win all the more sweeter. I want to see a how Rebel will do against a GM under this kind of match condition. I am sure Rebel will be doing the same thing, they have a opening book expert working for them, so he can stear the program into a good opening as was done in the Anand match. This is nothing Ed has not thought about before making the challenge. > >Uri
