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?
