Now you have seen several games....but you still don't know if the operator was running Gambit 095. I myself honestly doubt that Crafty has played hundreds of games against the Tiger beta's, that includes the three main servers. Probably 1/2 the computer accounts are noplayed anyway, then you have a formula that don't exactly allow computers to easily play. "((computer & rating>myrating-200 & inc>2 & !bullet) | (!computer & rating>myrating-400)) & (wild=0 | wild=2 | wild=3 | wild=4 | wild=5 | wild=8) & !freeweek & autocolor & established & rated & (bullet | (blitz & time<=5 & inc<4) | (standard & time<61 & inc<31))" You would think using a; Intel SC450NX quad xeon/550mhz, 512mb RAM, 5X9 10K LVDS disks that Crafty should easily "smash" these others running on PIII 500's, so why the rating tolerance of 200. I know more time to "smash" Old Gm's. Yet there are those constant seeks of 5 3 Crafty sends out to play these GM's. And what is interesting about smashing Shirov over and over on ICC? Yea, yea I know heard it before. Sarah.
