Don't you believe that many masters could also fall prey to (atleast my version of) Arasan, if they are not on top form? Atleast, if they don't try to play anti-computer? I'd expect that a master would never play that program in public without having his openings prepared for it. Is 6.1 any better in this respect? I might also guess, that even if a master could cope with it, he would get tired out very easily, as it is constantly playing tricks, more than other programs, I think. S.Taylor
