There have to be enough rounds to justify the thing and make it meaningful, and even 60 minutes would be more than a good test for computers. Heck, why should we limit ourselves to what humans do? They won't even play us, there's no reason to follow their 40/2 deal. I'd also like to see it in the USA. In fact, make it the west side of L.A., we've got a few good hotels around. Maybe Santa Monica, though it would be tough to use the ATM's. :) Will
