In standard play, it has never lost to an opponent lower than 200 points lower than itself, and has only one draw to such an opponent (Hossa). Anyway, games with strong opponents (such as ZarkovX, Spendrups, or crafty) are a lot better! When you have reason to feel thrilled if you win, the games are a lot more exciting. James
