I just checked and it seems sound to me, but if you are right, this
might explain the problem.  I hate using the noplay option, as I
think that anyone should be able to match you if it fits your
formula, but I couldn't seem to set the formula to stop the games.

I was guessing that the 'rematch' command that some computers issue
automatically might allow a game, even if it doesn't fit your
current formula.  I tried logging out and then back in later
(which I thought would disable any automated rematching), but there
were still more games from him.

Here is my formula as it stands now.  I tried many combinations when
I was trying to prevent the 1 0 games against the 2800 crafty clone.

((blitz | standard | bullet) & (rating < myrating+200 | !computer
   | !rated) & (rating >= myrating-400 | !rated) & autocolor & !timeodds)
