I'm sure bruce, myself et al implied this. I quote (emphasising) from my own post in the "Small number statistics..." thread: "Referring *****only to results and not to game-content*****, I've heard 2-1 referred to as "crushing". Silly when the smallest perturbation in favour of B would have drawn matters. Ditto with the 1.5-0.5 40/2 result from Ischia..." Game content gives the important clues. Have you seen the sets of 10 0 / 5 5 games making up the following matches (on a 150MHz or 166MHz machine): O'Donnell(IM) v MCP7 0.5 - 9.5 O'Donnell(IM) v CG5 0.5 - 9.5 Kind regards fca
