Well I was trying to stay on thread, which had been, "Fictitious Harvard Cup 1999", so I was basing things being arranged as in the past with player's & programs that were most availble & had played in previous Harvard events. I considered it more likely that program that had not played before would be more likely to play in the current (fictional event if it had occurred), because of the easy availability and strenth of the current crop) I also limitted it to the same number of programs & humans. Of course you can imagine a Fictitious Harvard Cup (or any other kind of Computer vs. Human tournament), any way you want to, with what ever number of players & programs. But based on past turnouts, though Yasser Seirawan would be a highly desirable player in such a tournament, it would be unlikely that he would play. Notice that he prefers much more to go to the Aegon events held in the past, (& other tournament in Europe), than he does to tournaments on the East Coast. I noticed this directly, at the time I lived on the West coast, & worked in Yasser's company. I think it may have to do also with Yvette Nagel Seirawan, who also has a lot of friends (& family), in Europe, that Yasser would/will go there more often. And having lived on the west coast for almost 4 years myself, I can testify to the desire to stay in the beatiful pacific Northwest (or travel Worldly), is very nice, especially if you (if I could have, I would have stayed), can afford the lifestyle. mrslug - the chess software addict!
