If I read it correctly, it got 2 wins against Nimzo, and a win and a draw against Little Goliath. I know that wasn't allot of games, and the time controls were a bit fast, but it's still rather impressive. I don't think I would have picked that group of programs to put Faile up against, my guess would have been that they're all stronger than Faile, but I often guess wrong. I have no idea how strong Doctor is. Pete
