I am also curious as to what >Bruce thinks about the current run of games for Ferret. I wouldn't call that a surprise. The strength difference is too small, and everything can happen. This is why these tournaments are so interesting, even if they are not statistically worth at all. One game is very important. Luck is there, along with some killer lines in the books, some late-change in the eval to face specially this or that program... so many small details. And then luck decides the result... or maybe one of those tiny details... And then there comes the "surprises"... A lot of fun, isn't it? José C.
