It sounds good to me. Maybe he could put in a subroutine that would tell us what Fernando would do. We could select that as the computers'move and proceed from there. The above idea may indeed be a feature of future chess programs. The only problem that I could see would be all the Emails that Fernando Villegas would get asking if,indeed, that was what Fernando would play. Hmm, Rebel 2000--the Villegas Edition...the Capablanca Edition....the Kamsky Edition....the Fischer Edition.......the Karpov Edition... Tim Frohlick
