Probably just not look right at it. When the author of the thesis provides
significant statistical data by playing hundreds of games with different engine
algorithms i can not imagine how somebody can earnestly say its a pice of junk
copied from the internet. Science is about being able to use the theory in a
practical model and then maybe come to new conclusions, although i think the
conclusion part would be a bit arrogant for a graduating student.
Anyway, I would sure look carefully a any new conclusions that are written in a
masters thesis before I take it for granted. But I agree with most people here
that the above thesis is quite interesting.

Maybe some of us had a bit a bad day?
