Care to guess how many hits a match like Paul vs Harvey would get?
If we thought Crawley vs Paul was a big match. I would be surprised if the match went 40+ moves that it got up to 4,000 hits easy. Of course they are both popular oh there respected forums.

No idea, but it's a match I've been looking forward to seeing for a long while, too bad it will most likely be a draw, but it'll be definitively interesting.
Depends on tournament standing and who has what color. Some interesting match ups will happen and I predict a lot of players will play for wins in the last rounds. So in theory whoever has the lowest draw rate among the top players will win. Out of 10 points I say the winning score is going to be at least 7 points out of 10.
i also play for Hiarcs forum team as have a number of Rybka forum members in the past.also played against them for Rybka forum team.if i had a game against Harvey it may well end in a draw,however i doubt it would be a boring one.i think my record speaks for itself.

Well then, thanks for the challenge!
32...Nd8 {Draw offer.}
32...Nd8 {Draw offer.}
That didn't take long
I probably messed up with 22...e5, but it was true to my style, and I think I could defend just fine against 22...Nc6, so possibly black has to try something different at an earlier point.
I was going to answer your previous post about this, but I agree that 22...Nc6 wouldn't have made much difference (see IDeA tree below). However, I think that 21...Qf7 might have given White a few more chances to go wrong. I wonder what Paul had planned against that. No, I don't have time to play a game from that position
although i cannot be categoric about this. after 21...Qf7 i most likely would have played 22.Bxf4 but i did have choices.eg 22.Ne4.
draw accepted.good fun.never thought 15...a4 was worth !!

When one is playing this game, it looks as if it could be drawn with perfect play, I'm satisfied with the result.
