Vincent's rating shows that he is stronger than me by no more than 100 ELOs.
Actually in 1997 I was at the peak of my chess strength with a little over 2250
ELO, and still didn't have any chance at all against computers in blitz (I mean
5 0, not 25 0 which I call "rapid"). Vincent is a little stronger than me, so he
might not get massacred (like me) but only crushed...

Having said so, I claim to be able to "beat" the 2003 Crafty at any time control
(black belt in Taekwondo!).
