GM Alexey Dreev gave me a great surprise this morning when I woke up and checked TW, he had played quite a few games, actually pushing TransWarp past it's old high of 3940 to 3941, took since December to pass that old mark, but since it's still a best right now, icc will hold off on posting it until TW gives up some points. Hopefully, more people will play, but it's tough to find players who don't mind playing a computer, hopefully, most take it as fun as it should be, not serious.
Thanks to GM Dreev for playing those games early this morning, I wish I could have watched them, but would have been pretty nervous!
(A further note: I was watching the Carlsen Wang Yue match when GM Dreev treated me with one more game, I got to watch this time, it was fun, again I hope GM Dreev treated it as fun and not too serious...after all, it's just a game. So TransWarp gained 1 more point to 3942, I commend GM Dreev on his lack of care about rating points and having a try at TransWarp. Another who would play a lot without concern of his rating is GM Rauf Mamedov, but sadly, he fell below the 700 pt limit, that's another sad thing about a high rating, you lose players! So it's not as great as some may think. I miss Rahmaninov, GeneraLisimus, etc who would give TW a visit now and then.)
