Since you haven't tested games with increment you have no idea whether Jouni's
test was correct or not. 12-8 is indeed a probable result no matter how many
timecontrols you check. It may not as probable as 15-5, but noone claimed it
was.

The learning is a problem with the blitz games and the autoplayer is a problem
with the ponder on games. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Jouni's tests are always with learning off as he stated in a later publication
of test results I believe.

I apologize for the accusation I made regarding you being biased and the
shenanighan's remark as well. I think you should sit down, relax and consider
the variables again, but that's only a suggestion.

The results were posted by Chris Taylor without conclusions of any kind. It was
an ordinary chess program tournament made for fun, not a test/study with the
intended purpose of proving something. There's a substantial difference. At
least there is for me. I could have commented on Jounis recent test, but Dann
Corbit did that instead. I've already explained why I couldn't comment on Jounis
"famous" 12-8 result for Crafty against Fritz.

Not really.

Thank you.

Just out of curiosity, does this prove there's anything fishy with my identity?
I would like to know if I'm someone else.

Sincerely,
