Relax

Thorsten did not say that you do not need to work hard to be in the top.
Thorsten did not say that the program need to be one of the best in order to be
considered as new paradigm.

Note also that beating the top programs from the relevant position is not enough
to be one of the top programs because if your program knows to play well in this
position and does not know to play well in other positions then it
is not one of the best programs.


I do not want to join the discussion about new paradigm because I believe that
it cannot be productive.

I may join the discussion if it is about the games otherwise I am out of it.
