The reason there is a rating jump is there are two different time controls here.
One is blitz 5 3 the other is "standard" 60 10. That is the reason for the
rating difference.

I use the Ebbi adapter to automate play on the ICC server.

Most of the other programs are dual machines. Crafty is a dual xeon 2.8 ghz,
epanek is a dual ahtlon something... I am just a single processor machine.
