Terms are cash. No reasonable offer will be turned down. I understand your skepticism, but occasionally average players like myself do score fluke wins against strong programs (we're talking maybe 1 in 100 games here, or less). Why? First, even the strongest programs sometimes get positions they don't know how to play (the Saemisch variation of the King's Indian, for example). Second, even average players occasionally play strong chess. The difference between strong players and average players is that the strong players consistently play well and the average players manage it only once in a while. But if all the moons are in proper alignment, a 1700 player can defeat a 2500 program. Incidentally, I want to know why you are trying to sell a bridge that I purchased two weeks ago! :)
