Well, I disagree. :) I do agree that Hoffman deserved to win the game, but I do not think that a hardware failure game is indicative of the strength of the program. Just my opinion. I can always beat any program by forcing a hardware failure. :) However, I will include the game in the rating calculations for future lists. Just for reference, the TPR for Reb-Cen with the Hoffman game is 2537 (on 600 mhz hardware). Thanks for the feedback. :) Best Regards, Chris Carson
