True.  One game means nothing regarding the comparative strength of the
Chessmaster personalities.  That's obvious. I merely stated that I was impresed
by the strong tactical play of the Utzinger personality.

When will the non-elite of the computer chess world be spared the knee-jerk
wisdom, "First, play a million games at 40/2"  Guess nobdy is allowed to have an
opinion or make an obersvation without the sermon about it being "statistically
meaningless."  Kinda takes the fun out of it.
