But Benjamin would be a great choice because of his Deep Blue knoweledge. Also, as he is a GM who regularly plays in the Manhattan rapids, maybe he'd be interested in this sort of thing. (I wish he'd come play in the Marshall rapids instead - my club!). >Other strong oponnent for programs is GM Yasser Seirawan, Maybe stronger >than Rohde and Benhamin. Yasser is very strong, more Capablanca like in his instant, intuititive grasp of most positions. I worked in his company for a year and I once saw him analyse a very complicated ending. After some thought, he produced long series of moves & manuever's that are way beyond the grasp of most ordinary master's (like myself). Not just in the number of singelar variations, but also in the ability to see many different plans from the stem position. These other GM's seem like more analytical types. I know Mike Rohde very well and have analysed chess with him as well. He once said to me (and some other people), "Chess is mostly continuous brutal calculation. A good player can not afford to let up for a second." This applies to all good player's of course, but even more so, player's of the Rohde, Benjamin, Defirmian type. Whereas, though Seirawan also see's very long variations, he is more a 'Karpov' intuititive type. >But i like your idea so much. Is really interesting. Thank you.
