Are you a registered ICC member?  If so, you can type "search scrappy" and
then use "mailstored" to mail each game that you want to see...

I don't have anything like "scrappy's greatest games" or anything.  But for
a start, take the games played vs JRLOK, a very good GM player.  He is playing
longer blitz games at present (5 7 last time I looked) so the games have fewer
gross mistakes...

I did get one quick and dirty feedback from him last night:  "You are doing
one thing that is really stupid.  The program plays wonderful endgames.  It
has outplayed me in nearly every endgame we reach.  But for some reason, here
of late, it has been refusing to go into endgames, trying for aggressive
attacking-type positions instead.  why?"

(He didn't know that I had been tuning up the aggressive behavior a bit, to see
how it would do...  but he picked up on it pretty quickly, and he did _very_
well vs the thing while this test was going on.  Scrappy is now back to normal
and a report from this morning said "this is much better.")
