I disagree.

Rebel lost because of a mate attack in one of the games in the israeli league.
Genius and other programs also often lose by king attack when they play against
chess system tal.

It is sad that the program of the bad guy chris knows things that other programs
do not know.

I am happy that it lost the last game in the tournament because of a bug and I
hope that chessmaster won the millenium tournament.
It needed a draw against crafty in the last round to be number 1.
