That's probably not enough to claim very much, and these aren't long games. But it massacred my ics2856 version (named for its peak rating) from a year or so ago. Most of the strength improvement has come from fixing bugs rather than any brilliant new ideas. At the point where my problem occurred, PM was on its way to losing 27-33 to crafty in one of these nunn matches - again, short time controls though. I've just managed to re-create the bug, but now it's gone back into hiding. >-- >GCP Andrew PS Good hunting!
