jmo and other moderators, in my opinion this game is the equivalent of a grandmaster's chess game - it is the best against the best (at least point wise). It's the one rare time us regular people can watch 4,500 per player/31,500 total point level play.
I would love (in just this one case), for us average Joe's to chat about it in the Forum, while it's going on. Its a learning moment for us amateurs as taught ny ghe grandmasters. That sort of thing actually happens in grandmaster chess tournaments and sometimes the break midgame for the night. The pros could review the days comments, but that's like having your kids guess at your taxes. (Sounds almost logical, right)
A condition for this would that only people below, say 500 points, could comment. Those would be us that are 100% sure are NOT in the game.
Anybody above 501 (like you, ghug, or CAPT Brad) who comments would cause the thread to be immediately locked. This would also be an interesting psychology test -- to see if the pros can stand back silently while we hackers do analysis and throw popcorn at each other.
I leave the fate of this idea it up the moderators, and frankly the prolific CAPT Brad.... for how long could he hold off without comment?
