My dad tought me 4 years ago that the stonewall (in this case transposed) was
the way to beat comps, cause he had used this line to beat comps since the
70's!!

My point was not: see if you can find new anti comp stretegies, my point was:
can anyone beat a prog (top 5) when not using anti comp, meaning: playing it
like any other opponent!

I did not say that in general people should not be allowed the use of anti comp
play.
I repeat myself: can anyone here beat a top 5 prog without using anti comp
strategies at 40/120 on fast hardware?
