Dear Dann, Please forgive my ignorance, but please tell me more about the setup you liked for the KRUP matches. Perhaps we can learn something from this and provide what you and other viewers want. Since I'm ignorant of just about anything involving computers, feel welcome to contact Franklin Campbell at his hosting web site with your suggestions. Thanks for any input you can offer. Our intentions are to make these games as close to 100% pure human versus pure machine as we can. Thus no human intervention is allowed for the machine. The goal is to see what level of strength is seen from these chess engines when playing correspondence chess against highly rated human opponents. In this way, we hope to have some idea of what a very weak human with a very strong computer/chess engine combination could hope to accomplish if he never interfered with the machine. Once a performance "baseline" is established, the hope then is to see what effect a human/machine team has against a strong correspondence master. So far there has been speculation regarding the influence of computer chess engines upon correspondence chess. In this very limited test, we hope to provide some empirical data (yes it's only 4 games but it's a start) to replace some speculation with facts. I just hope I don't embarrass myself and the human race in this match! Sincerely, Steve Ham
