I play on ICC and would like to take the PGNs of my game and hand them to a script/program so it can crunch all night and spit out annotations. I really like the annotations that the most recent version of Chessmaster does, but you have to navigate through menus for each game. I don't find Fritz's annotations quite as easy to read (I have version 7), but anyway it's menu-driven. I was thinking...

Just like there are World Championship matches for Best Chess players in world Is there any Competition for Best Chess Programs? What is the Money I will get if GetClub comes in top 3/ top 5. Because Now I have stopped improving the game further as Now even good players are finding it difficult to win.

I think with the improvement Normal Level may some day win Rybka.

Theoretically speaking, if my personal goal was to achieve a draw in EVERY game that I played (as stupid or ill-advised as that may sound to most people), then what is the highest chess rating that I could possibly achieve and is it theoretically possible to be a Grandmaster having never won OR lost a game?
