DO NOT SEND REPLIES TO THE ENTIRE LIST! Just send them to one of the above addresses. Addendum -------- For readers who don't understand all of this, I am conducting a Delphi experiment wherein a large network-based readership can send moves in for a chess game. Each reader's move is a vote that is combined with other readers' votes. The move with the most votes is played against the Prestige chess machine searching a minimum of 8 full ply deep. At this level it is probably playing around the ELO 2200 level. The results will eventually be published in a journal along with an analysis of the experiment. [In view of the limited number of respondents, I shall have to discontinue publishing the play-by-play in this digest. Please contact mclure@sri-unix if you wish to follow the game. -- KIL]
