The data in the article did not back up the statements in the article.  If you
look at those cross tables I don't think there is much reason to prefer Rebel,
for instance, over Crafty.

The game you posted elsewhere doesn't back up your statements, either.  You show
Crafty getting rolled up into a little ball by Fritz.  No problem.  I can so you
games where Fritz was rolled up into a ball by my program, and where my program
was rolled up into a ball by Hiarcs, etc.  Both of these from the last WCCC.

Every time you let your program play you expose yourself to this kind of
humiliation, it happens to *everyone*.
