Actually I am not making any bubbles (that was a hard word) I know for a
fact the computers are a lot different than human players. But to how much the
truthfulness of computer chess rating relative to true human strenght, that I
don't know--that is why I am asking. Further more, I concede to the fact that
there are a lot of things taking hold on a chess table opposite to a real person
in contrast with sitting opposite a computer in the middle of the night.
As of know perhaps I can find some time playing in tournaments this
upcoming Spring Break. It would probably this time that I can really test my
skills against a true opponent.
I'll try out for Class C first and see what comes up.
Thank you,
Gerard
