I can do it, and I'm not a grandmaster. I can't do it every time, certainly, only a few percent of the time. I played WChess exactly one game though, and got a draw. These were quick blitz games but I don't do take backs, I don't flag, and I don't look at the analysis window. I don't think I could do as well against human stronger than 2200. bruce
