You might be surprised.  There was a player named "mercilous" on ICC that
wrecked holy hell on _all_ programs a couple of years ago.  By playing very
quickly and using the trojan horse attack.  And _every_ program was losing
to him.  He had the highest rating on ICC for a good while, yet he could
not beat a GM there.

This kind of play _can_ be done.  Of course, there is no telling how many games
Edward has lost since we see only his victories.  But the victories do not look
"made up" to me...
