Each player shall receive an extra 30 seconds thinking time after each move played, commencing from the first move." Source: http://www1.worldfide.com/chess/info.html This is closer to 97AEGON time control of 40/90 min followed by 30 seconds after each move played. Rebel scored 2651 at the 97AEGON on Ppro 200 HW! To make it more interesting, let the top 10 programs (including Crafty) play him using what ever HW the programmers want. I think this would be a very competitative match at the WC time controls. :) Best Regards, Chris Carson
