However for rebel to get it's wins all in a short period of time decreases the odds. If a Human were to draw ANAND, beat the lithuanian nat'l team, Beat sherbakov, almost beat a 2593 Baburin, all in a few months there is no way that you would be trying to make out that he wasn't GM strength. You can not find an IM in the world that could produce the same sort of results in the same period of time! Do you know Anand has not drawn a player that was only IM strength in years! Further you can't totally judge a program by results. Why you ask? Becasue the comp doesn't know who you are. An example of what i mean is this I have had several draws against Comps by 3 repetition. The comp takes the draw because the position is basically equal and it doesn't KNOW that i'm not a GM. A GM would break the rep, even if it was a slightly inferior move because he knows i'm only 2000 and he can beat me. It's not that the comp wouldn't destroy me if played an alternative move to the rep, yet this would lower the rating. > >This is true for ANYBODY.

I wish you would stop blindly filtering out results you don't want to see and as for this line "and claim that you have discovered something amazing." I would imagine that their are a good number of psychiatrist in your local area you might want to meet with to discuss your ongoing confusion. >
