I completely agree with mark,having another look at the games there is absolutely nothing that will show you that this is a GM playing. no intention to underrate ferret achivement whatsoever in fact I believe it will win in much longer time control,but this is certainly not the way to play a strong chess software and you dont have to be a GM to lose like this. btw does any one have this guy record in playing comp at icc? does he play them often? avi
