I think that (a) the results are not always reproducible;  (b) beating
crafty by 1 game in a 10 game match is hardly conclusive;  (c) beating
crafty by 1 game in a 10 game match hardly is incontrovertible evidence
that a "new paradigm" has been found and is working;  (d) personal
observation of the program by myself did not find it to be anywhere near
invincible;  (e) I didn't see a thing that says that as the machines get
faster, it gets better than the opponent.  Crafty responds _well_ to
faster hardware also.  Equally as well, at least, IMNSHO...

I would rather see 100 games.  10 is no better than rolling the dice and
declaring a winner.
