Just wondering how many of you are actually planning to do this?
Personally I don't see the point of having large numbers of Us each playing against the same program..What is this supposed to prove?

Why prove anything? You will not get much ELO-Statostic, but a bunch of games for the programmers to think about , and first time games against humans with longer times than 5 0!
I will really be interested in the games (if InmiChess may participate), but can not play any games, cause I play much too weak

Hello,
Can the people comment their games a little, give their impressions and so..
This would be the most interesting thing, not only games.....

Does it have to be G/60 or can we play slower?
I am terrified of computers at G/60.

Hello Dann,
Why are you terrified at G/60 ?

Hello Dann,
Why are you terrified at G/60 ?

Because I have even less of a chance. A long time ago I did well against computers at many time controls (though I never play blitz). Computers caught up and passed me by. I used to run road races also. But when I thought I no longer had a chance to win, I stopped. It is similar with me in chess. I must feel I have a chance to win. It can be a very slim chance, but it must exist in my mind or I won't even try.
For humans, right now, time is an advantage. The slower the better. Look how Mike Valvo clubbed Deep Thought at correspondence time controls. Look how Kasparov's recent internet match ran scared from Junior at G/60. The longer we can think, the better. That's because (for computers) chess is an exponential process. At some point, they "hit the wall" to use a running metaphor. For humans, we don't continue searching down pathways that lead to bad ideas. So when we have more time, we can come up with much better ideas while computers cannot. To convince yourself of this effect, try ten matches at several time controls, starting from game in ten seconds, and doubling the time allowed at each step. You will find that the more time you have the better you do.
I like to play 40/2 against any opponent -- computer or human. Sometimes, it ends up as G/60 because I play faster than I should. But I simply don't like fast chess and I won't play it against a computer because they are already better than I am, and I need every advantage I can get.

I suggest to play two games at _at least_ 60min/game. If someone wants to use slower time control he is free to do that.

I said it and will play two games at g/60 against averno and post them here .
Unfortunately there is this bad thing called work and robs most of your time ...
But as Come allowed games until March 20nd I decided to wait for a day when I feel fitter ( which will probably force me to play 2 games on the 20th ) .
Maybe there are more of those lazy guys like me who will do every thing as late as possible
