You are probably wondering why is this necessary, since MHZ MEANS NOTHING. But at least I am comparing Both Palms against the same opponent with the same opening, so if it loose twice, you can only blame it on the Opening Book, NOT the Slow Palm Vx. Also I didn't mentioned the MHz as a point of comparison, but the estimated USCF rating of 2294, which to me is closer to 2200. Pichard.
