All i wanted was a answer to my question >which was how often is a 1900 expected to draw a grandmaster. No, the wording led me to believe prior to reading the message that it would be about a 1900 drawing with a true "Grandmaster". I believe Dr. Hyatt already posted a note on the question of how often a 1900 could draw a 2500 player based on the rating difference, yet there would naturally be a lot of other factors involved with a human gandmaster. It is my opinion that a 1900 player could expect to score more than this number against a computer...any computer. Thanks.
