A new method for finding approximate solutions of the Ginsparg-Wilson equat
ion is tested in 2-d. The Dirac operator is first constructed and then used
in a dynamical simulation of the 2-flavor Schwinger model. We find a very
small mass of the pi-particle implying almost chirally symmetric fermions.
The generalization of our method to 4-d is straightforward. (C) 2000 Publis
