Thats the point....it is very easy to fix matches with a public that does not
know the products.



You should have posted that you play better than Hiarcs in Blitz.

Correct, that why I chose it, but made the results the way I did. BTW, all the
games are real, they are all true Crafty wins.

As absurd as this score is to you and most people, this is how many of us see
the scores between CST and the top programs that have been posted. It is very
easy to fix a match and have proof that the match was real by its games, but for
the people that know the product, the results of the match are much more
telling.
