then you have never played on ICC (or any other server) with movei. my stupid
program has something like a 2600-2700 rating on a "slow" (P4 1.4GHz) computer
on ICC, and it mainly loses points against computers and wins against humans.
whenever i see that it has a low rating, it is usually because some other
computer account played many games against it. i think it's a fair guess that
adding !computer to your formula gives you at least 200 rating points on ICC.
compare crafty and scrappy for example, scrappy has 600 points more as i write
this, and AFAIK the only difference is the !computer line in the formula...
