Check on ICC with some well-known GM players vs Crafty... ie Roman vs Crafty, or log on to chess.net and check out Christiansen vs crafty (he maybe wins one of every 10 games on a real good day)... yet he plays and plays and plays... I once watched Roman play over 100 straight games winning maybe one of every 10. Ditto for GM Lombardy, Dlugy, etc... I don't think they run and hide at all... in fact they seem to relish playing the programs that give 'em the most fits... > >and your enthusiasm reduces further, while the enthusiasm of the person >>who convinced you to do the thing increases, because they also come to realize >>how much you've agreed to do for them. >> >>bruce
