Amir,

If you "fixed" this behavior for this specific instance, would it greatly lower
the rating of Junior 6a?  One step forward and two steps backward???

You have a fantastic program but compared to what you will come up with in the
future it is a moron.  Keep up the great work.  I think that in order for us to
have really "intelligent" programs we are going to need a program size increase
of ten-fold and a processor increase of ten to twenty times.

Junior 6a beats me mercilessly...I guess that I am more of a moron that Junior
is.


Thank you,


Tim Frohlick, low-grade Krell moron
