I remember, Ferret was number one on the ICC ratings list. Bruce had the best
ratings formula of anyone on ICC for being the top computer on ICC. He had no
game limits, Bruce would let you play 100 games in a row if you could take it:)
He did not noplay you if his program lost to your account. Ferret would play
with fair increments, so back then us manually operated computer accounts could
have a fair game with Ferret. Ferret was still #1 most of the time on ICC.
