Why do you ask me such hard questions, that's not very nice Russell!
:)

Okay, conclusion. When you see patzer 2200 Frenzee suddenly play like a divine
God, perfect in every aspect, declaring mate in 235. Do you think to yourself,
"wow Sune sure is one hell of a programmer", or "he should count himself darn
lucky he had those table bases to save his butt this time round".

Well I know what I'm thinking, and I'm thinking the same thing about Junior.

What is a machine and what is it not, that is a whole different discussion which
I would like to avoid going into, or chances are I will end up looking like an
even bigger moron :)

May this part of the thread rest in peace, I resign in dishonour.
