You did Dr. that is clearly true. The fact remains however that people took the results without asking questions of them. You yourself while maintaining the ponder=on as being correct for crafty never questioned it although it states one machine. And I agree so small an amount of games is meaningless as are the tourneys I myself run, yet it is clearly evidenced here that people play a few blitz games and make statements that clearly are not borne out by facts elsewhere. I just questioned the original posting while others wanted to make coffee with it. Thanks.
