Indeed, I've recently watched two two-game ICC matches between Bruce Moreland's Ferret and GMs. In both matches Ferret won 2-0. One of the most common comments made by spectators was that the GM would have no chance without an increment. It's interesting that Junior managed to win even with an increment. Congratulations to Amir and Shay! Nevertheless, 30 20 is still a long way from being classical chess. Andrew
