Naturally, Gandalf is an excellent engine. Not only that, but Gandalf is also in
my team, the Schröder team.

However I don't think Steen wants to get a good performance because its opponent
has been crippled. I guess that, like me, he want to perform well when fair
conditions have been set.

My comments are not aimed at Gandalf. I would have complained the same way if
the opponent had been another program.
