you could always get a dan player to volunteer for
such a game.  he would promise not to spend more
than 1/2 hour on the game, and mogo would play
postally.

i'd be very impressed if mogo could "give him fits".

also, 30 minutes / 50 moves (guess) == .6 min / move.
7 days = 10080 minutes, so it's just a factor of
16800 speed increase that's needed.  is mogo
parallelizable?  if so, i could probably get 10
machines on the job, so we'd just need another
factor of 1700 increase or so.  :)
