I have seen everything you mention and more!!. If you want I'll send you some
links. I also have every program you named excluding Tiger. Can you tell me how
many humans play 40/2 at ICC since you use it as a reference. Most humans at ICC
play blitz 3/0 not quite the same thing.

I could see being surprised. But prepared to be "shocked" you say 2784, since
shocked was my word for 2784. I honestly think to believe a computer could be
2784 at 40/2 is mildly as possibly put plain SILLY.
Thanks.
