This does not necessarly mean that they can easily win all matches against other strong amateurs like Crafty 17.14, Little Goliath 2000 v3.7, Yace 0.99.56, Tao 5.4, Pepito v1.55 and so on. By the way, in the Match Aristarch 4.4 vs Nimzo 7.32 (40'/40) it stands 1-1 but in the running third game, Aristarch 4.4 is already a pawn up. Kurt
