No matter rating or computer. then to my >amazement 12 hours a day (out of the around 12 hours a day it is logged >on) it was playing half of them unrated against computers at blitz, bullet. > >I find it sick. As a human I find it "sick" to play bullet with a computer, you lose about 15 seconds just by moving, basicly you have to drop all the time, which means you have to play in ponder mode 95% of the time. This is fun against other humans, to see who is better at guessing the opponents next move, but makes no sense against a computer who does not have this interface handicap. The rating of 3000+ just goes to show that I think. What is Diep's rating in blitz and standard? How does Diep compare to Crafty, Yace and the others, you must have tested I guess? -S.
