By accident, do you mean you got lucky?? :)

I am quite convinced that CT14.0 is stronger at 40/120 than 15 15!
Do you really mean to say that: CT14.0 is as good at 15 15 as it is at 40/120?

When you say that CT14.0 will stick with a move no matter what time you give it,
do you mean that seriously? if so and what you say is true about CT14.0, then
CT14.0 at 15 15 is as strong as CT14.0 at 40/120, try convincing Christophe
Theron of that.....

And what do you mean by: "Human obviously is better when time gets better for
him." do you have any proof of that? I am sure that a lot of programmers and
Human GM's disagree..
