Yes Mogens, you really seem to "presume" lots of things about other people... Opinions regarding what is "best" for others, what others should do or not do seem to be one of your favourite occupations. Well, that can be a life also, I suppose. In this special case, with the Tiger-Shredder games played by Chris, I actually haven't seen them posted anywhere else. So, these games were news to me, copied them from this place and went through them all. The same to me if Shredder had won the match with 13-2. In that case I would have posted my excitement concerning Shredder... It's simply interesting, at least for me, when one top program can beat the other in such a spectacular way. So it seems your words "blatant" and "slightly pathetic" just backfire to yourself...
