I think I missed seeing the PGN's of these games, Bob.  I don't doubt that there
were some games played by something against something, but I don't think that a
third-hand evaluation of these matches is worth anything, and I think that the
best thing to do would be to forget that they were ever played.  Anything said
about those games is not just hearsay, it's hearsay about hearsay.
