Just ask Gary Vladimir Or any other tournament winner. But you can be talented and/or have worked hard to make it count less . But You should look more at the preformance of the amateur engines. To me this look more intresting. The gap become a lot smaller. Question is did the amateur engines improved much more then the Comercial engines? Or the comercial engines did,nt improve much or even get worse and the amateur engines did improve or stayed at the same level? It is also intresting to look closer why games whent lost and how to cure the problem Espacialy in the game Diep versus the King the game postions where not new to me. It suprises me that Vincent or Johan didn't give coments on it. Marc
