Start reading above. "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.
