It is like playing soccer using 6 goalkeepers :-). I do not know much about checkers and I never looked at the games but if the opponent cannot beat you when you play for a draw then it means that the opponent is not better than you. Could Lafferty draw every game or almost every game against tinsley? If he could not do it and could do better against chinook then it means that chinook was weaker than tinsley. Uri
