0-8

The Grandmaster has enough to win this like that. Vas said that we have to discus this by 2012, in where things will be more interesting than the GM winning all the games.

Thanks for reply, but all my hard and time-consuming work of making 17 poll options, and only then seeing it was not allowed, then making 13 options being 6 games, all got messed up.
So this was didn't come out as intended.

You are saying gm would win all?

Creating a poll allows you a maximum of 9 or 10 options only and you need to add them one at a time, otherwise they're not saved.
Would you like me to remove the thread so that you can try again?

But actually, maybe not. Because I have already been answered very clearly on this forum, and on the Rybka forum, that knight odds are a very big concession, more than I had thought.

So, leave it!

It's good that I know how many options I can make in a poll.
Yes, I entered them seperately.

I wont be angry if thread is deleted, but I wouldn't bother you with this any further.
Any comments might as well be added on this thread.
But I'm also following my thread on the Rybka forum at the momment.

Generally I don't understand what is cool about those odds matchups. Rybka team beats the same GM with various possible handicaps...is there anybody who is not bored of this?
Instead, try playing a stronger guy. Play some other guy. Challenge Zappa for a match.

Yes, but it's been suggested that Rybka may give this odds to a weaker player.

We don't know that Rybka is going to win until this happens. In the last odds match a lot of people were very sure that the GM would crush Rybka.

But I have to agree on the variety of GMs, there's lot of them, yet the last 4 matches have been against the same two...
