Hi Peter,
Were you a beta tester for Gandalf?.
Something don't seem right, if those scores were correct they
would have also been noted by the Gandalf testers and reported.
Even the scores e v f at all time controls suggest that e is probably
150 ELO better. Maybe some of the Gandalf testers could address the
question as it seems highly unlikely that e could have been that much
better.
Sarah.
