My experience is almost completely with amateur engines which are usually a shade under the professional ones in ability. I do play against the professional ones on occasion, and my general impression was the same, but I don't have a great deal of experience in that regard. I also know that you are an excellent correspondence player, so you are much more qualified than I am. But I still suspect [hope?] I may be right. It will be interesting to see how it turns out.
