GrandMaster Bu, Xiangzhi CHN 2714 #26 in the world in the October, 2008 rating list was the last person to play TransWarp. He was interrupted by a kibitz questioning his playing computers, whether or not this affected his game, I do not know, I just know it was rude by that ICC member. Here is that game. Since TW broke 3700 it's been tougher to get players as they have to be rated over 3025 to play. The higher rated GM's and IM's do not want to lose a lot of rating pts per game. For instance, GM Bu, rated 3224 before the game, gave up 2pts for the loss, where if depressnyak ICC 3637 would give up 12 pts for a loss. So I don't expect a game from depressnyak :) There are a few that will give up to 4pts per game, but usually only 1 game, that's okay by me, after all, I just think it's fun. depressnyak wants to show his stuff vs other high rated players, which is totally cool, but I wonder if he would risk 32pts vs a player 700 pts below him? Just some pondering is all.
Look for the latest batch of games by TransWarp at TransWarp's Official Website, link in the links block. About 800 new games to GM Bu's game above.
