Well, he made two statements IIRC. The first one was that he claimed to be able to defeat commercial programs at a reasonable timecontrol. And secondly, that he would lose convincingly if he tried his usual style. Your example games are the opposite of both claims IMO, so they're not relevant to the question at hand. The Shredder claim notwithstanding. Regards, Mogens
