Lee Trevino once said when someone called him lucky "Yes but the more I
practice, the luckier I get".  You will not be "Lucky" enough if you are not
good enough to win it.  Just my opinion and yes, I'm afraid I will have to
finally buy a copy of Shredder just so I can test it to find out what makes it
so LUCKY.
