BOB, SEE MY APOLOGY BELOW IN ANOTHER MESSAGE.  I misread your formula because I
thought that crafty and Talmoves played 15 0 previously and it must have been 15
with increments.  Last night crafty beat me in Blitz and drew in standard.  You
do have a great program?  Crafty always sees thru TAls sacs which others dont.

Please accept my apology and I will get better learning complex formulas.

Thanks and I hope your recovering well from the surgery.
