There is no operator and no special care about ranking. That's why you can do
exactly what you want, including blocking the position in a very fazt game.
I think the computer is also used for other tasks while you play. It's not my
computer, it's Lex (in Holland) doing the experiment to check that the Internet
Chess Servers interface works properly. I know his computers are connected by a
local lan, so maybe this computer is used as a server or something, I don't
know.
But if you want to play the real thing and try again this kind of game, we can
arrange that. I think you'll find the experiment less to your taste.
