Or ALPHA should have been BETA.

I'm not sure if this is a "position below alpha wich is not going to improve" or
a "position above beta wich is not going to deteriorate"

I have to let it sink in.

I feel good because I have been working on this stuff before, I feel bad because
I dropped it because I didn't use that last small refinement Ed explains. Well,
given 20 years I would have found it (maybe)

BTW Ed, I send you a personal mail. ( from the webpage)
