I think the only way we beat you is if all us lesser mortals play as a team.

This is what I was waffling about the other day. Interesting eh. John Danagher mentioned it on a podcast, pretty much cheating but it would be interesting.

Oh yea, the cyborg chess you mentioned. It's viable but not for everyone. IMO, you can't really call it cheating 
if they all have a computer program and agree to terms. It's cool. Maybe we could try it in the Ghost Chamber.

Stockfish is interesting and in favor with RHP players to analyze positions.

Stockfish is a free, powerful UCI chess engine derived from Glaurung 2.1. Stockfish is not a complete chess program and requires a UCI-compatible graphical user interface
