All these other threads of people bashing Searcherx are silly.  I mean I dont
know the guy or anything about his program but neither do you guys... just
because it has some good results doesn't mean he cheated.

I can tell you this, I've seen monsoon (30th place in cct3), Postmodernist and
Chester beat Searcher in blitz games on ICC before CCT3.  I'm not saying this to
diminish Searcher at all, but monsoon has never beat Tiger at any time control
to my knowledge.  I think we should give him the benefit of the doubt and stop
the jealous speculation.

Congratulations to Searcher, some very nice games and strong play... and a bit
of luck maybe.  Great tournament.

Scott
