I think you are right. Chess Tiger seems to be the more dangerous opponent for
humans, as well as Rebel itself. Seems Ed has put together quite a human bashing
team with Tiger, Rebel, and now Gandalf which does VERY well vs humans.
The WCCC doesn't prove anything about play vs humans, only computers. I do not
know how the translation can be made that if x program can win the WCCC, it
would do well vs humans. That is like comparing apples to oranges.

Maybe in this day and age a pinto really can out run a ferrari in a quarter mile
race just because it beat a hugo. ;)
