unfair game, opponent used coffee.
It increased an elo rating of 50 points for the human player.
Lets rerun this whole match, without coffee, from the position when both the
players were out of book.

even better.

if anyone disagrees with me, we can run a set of 200 games between this players.
One set with the human opponent gets to drink a lot of coffee, the other set is
without cofee. We could use nunn positions too.

what do you think?
