Yes, that is correct. Simple ideas can be complicated to implement, but they're
still simple.

Neither have I. The only objection is the ludicrous 'new paradigm' boloney that
have no basis in the real world. That and the flawed comparison with CW's
attempts with CS-Tal. The sudden implementation of planning is an especially
entertaining mirage.

Gambit Tiger appears to be the strongest program at the moment. No problem for
me at all as long as the religious rhetoric is kept at a minimum. Fortunately
very few people believe a word TC utters and trusts the results instead. Good
idea IMHO.

Correct again. It's just calculation with changed parameters.

Might very well be the correct way to go, but 'new'? No.
