I won the 1983 WCCC event with a program (a parallel program) that had _never_ played a full game. In fact, as I drove from Hattiesburg, Mississippi to New York, Harry Nelson was up at Cray helping them debug a parallel FORTRAN library problem that was killing us. We had only run a _few_ tests, and yet things ran perfectly, no glitches and we rolled through like we knew what we were doing. :) I can think of other years where we should have won easily but unexpected "events" caused us to finish much worse than we should have. This is not a predictable thing, although today, Crafty is obviously much more robust than CB as Crafty plays all day every day, so at least we won't expect it to crash or play an illegal move...
