I'm not interested in a blitz game in which operators are involved. That doesn't
tell me anything about the strength of the engine at blitz. I am more interested
in the inner workings of the engine that make it good at blitz, played on ICC or
on a PC between two engines, where the results do not depend on the speed and
accuracy of the human hand.
