Is it that you think I'm an idiot and couldn't be bothered to look it up? The
position I asked about is the position that on Nemesis's website says "and here
this move loses, while this other move draws" (or words to that effect). And
there's a little applet that lets you play through the game, so it's tough to
get it wrong. If that's not the correct position, then someone who's obviously
an expert on the subject has it written down on their website wrong. Mind you,
if that's the case, I'm not going to snivel and whine about it publicly, even
though it was posted recently, as compared to years ago.
I didn't ask for a search log. I assume that if it was fluctuating he would
have mentioned it ("it changes its mind often") or some such.
I find that my responses are getting pretty snarky. I guess I'd better get some
sleep. Perhaps I won't be quite so rude tomorrow.
