Really? He lost, Ed said he really should have won if I'm not mistaken?; but
John Vander Weil was certainly not crushed! 3.5-2.5 in favour of Rebel Century
3.0.

Also are you certain John Vander Weil is the best at Anti-Comp. play?

I think he's very good but I'd lay odds Anand is better!;-)


BTW I've beaten Century 3.0 and 4.0 without using anticomputer play, does that
make me a GM? No I don't believe so.
