I don't think I've said anything for you to feel otherwise.
I apologize if you feel my comments were unfair.

OK that was what you meant, was an extraordinary claim.
Mine is that you wrote;

"There are plenty of games at ICC where GM's and IM's are still winning more
than losing to comps."

To me that's an extraordinary claim.

I think you are wrong, but it's a pointless argument.

I don't doubt Dr. Hyatt has very good data, however I'm confident enough to come
to my own conclusions. Chris Carson has a list posted at Tony Hedlund's website,
so I'm sure in Chris opinion he has _proved_ his statements.

Actually I doubt Hawkeye has a good record. He won't AFAIK even play them
anymore.

Those are NOT current FIDE controls however Chris list is based for the most
part at 40/2.

I know of NO human playing on ICC who has a positive result against a
professional program at any controls. Especially in mind is they play more than
one game.
