I do not say that it is bad but I saw bigger improvements(see the improvement in fruit that is more than 200 elo in less than a year from fruit1 to fruit2). Of course it is harder to make big improvement with good programs but I say that an imporvement is huge based on the difference in elo and I cannot call one imporvemnet of 30 elo huge improvement and another improvement of 50 elo not huge improvement. If I make improvement of 50 elo in a year I will see it as a small improvement and disappontment inspite of the fact that 50>30 so I cannot see 30 elo as an huge improvement. Uri Uri
