Just like Fernando, I go along with what you said, about Patzer's rather mediocre performance here. However, there's something about Patzer's drawing Patzer's problem with the version that Fernando uses was time-allocation, something that bothered Fernando too... I am happy to say that the time-allocation problem has been solved by Roland and Fernando will soon get a copy of that new Patzer that will, hopefully, play better. Genius 5 is an extremely strong opponent, especially at the time controls used by Fernando, so I think that Patzer's draw is at least indicative of its potential. Regards, Djordje.
