Hopefully ICC or the arbiter at the GM's site will do something about the "kib" problem during the next game. Even I could hang in there a while against Rebel if, every 5 to 10 minutes (and it was this frequent) someone was kibitzing the next batch of moves from Fritz, Hiarcs etc... Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying any of these GM's were using all this info, only that they *could*. Until this is resolved these games can hardly be called good science, only good fun. Regards, Peter
