It was definitely Gothmog 0.4.5. I read your message and the Blitz results
against AnMon and Dragon which are both installed on my Computers.

Gothmog 0.4.5-AnMon 5.21: 12-8 (+9,-5,=6)
Gothmog 0.4.5-Dragon 4.5: 13-7 (+12,-6,=2)

So I decided to download Gothmog and match it against a somewhat tougher
opponent. :)
