This goes too far.  I don't think this is the problem at all.  I think any of
these guys would do well against a computer.

You don't know, I don't know, nobody knows, what would happen if Ferret played a
GM at 40 in 2, but my money is on the GM.

My money is on the GM against any micro at this time control, even those that
actually tune for that time control, which I of course don't.

Thanks for your support though, I enjoy hearing that from someone who has kicked
my butt so many times ;-)
