Wow I'm way behind apparently. How awesome would it be to see Korch checkmating Anand or Kramnik for the world championship in 2-3 years?

Then again, his name does start with a K. That's 400-500 points right there.

Korch has been higher, then a few engines overtake him, then the engines are gone .... and so it goes on and on and on!

I suspect there are at least 2 engines above him at the moment maybe as many as 4 but I obviously cannot name and names!

I don't think it's fair to assume that any highly rated player who keeps their real identity secret is an engine user. I'm sure there's more than one genuine player above Korch in the ratings list!
