Go up one level in this thread


I must say that I'm intrigued! If it can already beat the Mach IV (probably
2200is USCF) 4.5 -.5, then it's pretty clear thatit must be quite stroing
already. I'm only a 2200ish USCF Master...but how about you allow the rest of
the world to see it's strength. How about a 3 game G/30 match on ICC vs. me?

If it's as good as you say it is, then it should have very little problem with
me. People can then compare it's game to how the other top progs would play in a
similar position.

I guess the old phrase 'put your money where your mouth is' applies here.  :)

Please let me know.
