"although any single tournament should not be used as a measure of the strength of a program": SO no unsubstantiated conclusions. The Nunn-Test you refer to was conducted between CSTBlack and Hiarcs. Hiarcs was not even in mclane's tournament, and mclane is using the Win95 version, so my statement that his results are quite possible still stands. Your conclusion that my statement was a defense for CST was incorrect. It was more a defense of Thorsten's reputation from an unwarranted attack in a forum in which he is no longer allowed to defend himself. kp
