No G.M. likes to lose, I hate loosing I am sure they do more so (most anyway) there was money envolved not a real lot but enough for them play 1 game hard ,and since they all waited to play only 1 game I am sure you get their full efforts. They must have wanted to see how well their preperations paid off, and I am sure most was curious to see just how tough this program is. As far as "and were they as experienced against computers as people on their level ever will be?" My question, Are programs as well "adapted" to play against these GMs as they will ever be? Also what if same games were played on 800mhz? Or correctly implimented opening book? Truthfully I thought it would be wonderful to be able to play against it if it was 2450 40/2, anything else is GRAVY :)))
