Gordon,

If you get into a lost endgame then even the best player will either lose or
draw depending on the strength ot the adversary.

Deep Junior plays a pretty good endgame but more importantly seems to know how
to get to a good endgame from the middle game. I am impressed with DJs overall
performance. It would be funny to see Herr Nemeth play against DJ under these
same conditions. The processors being used are 20 times as fast as Nemeth's
machine. Wipeout!! I also would lose 99 out of 100 games..
