I'm aware of this, however it IS interesting that H8 lost to J7 in a 40-game
match whilst the last ran on significantly inferior hardware whereas here it is
leading the same program on better hardware after 12 games. Maybe the next 28
games will send this temporary result down the drain, and then again maybe not.
