For this to be valid to your point, Vincent and Stefan's programming skills would have to be equal. I'm not going to make a statement one way or another, but it doesn't look like something that obviously true. It could very well be for example that Vincent's chess skills _are_ helping him, but he is simply a lot crappier programmer than Stefan, so it sortof evens out. I know for example that Vincent considers Bruce to be a much better programmer than he is. Yet their programs are clearly not very different in strength. There has to be some equalizer. -- GCP
