Of course not.  Bas stated that I had said in my finger notes on FICS that I had
an "above average" evaluation.  I was simply stating I never said that, and
honestly, probably have a "below average" evaluation.

I was just saying, I do have an eval.  And it evaluates some aspect of the game
a tad better than others.  This is somewhat true with all programs I guess.  I
just have not found my "happy median."  6 ply is of course, not enough to have a
"strong" chess engine.
