What is the rating achieved by both players if the result is 14.5 - 3.5? I will make my own opinion if I think the margin of error is too great. (My interest here is also STILL in CM6k & it's flogging of Sparc 20mhz, and programs on 486/66's) Thanks to anyone who can answer those two questions. Tina Long
