Hi!

A human.

Which is not very suprising, considering that white was a human rated
1960 while black was a computer rated 2591.

The number of horrible moves in the game may not be terribly high,
but the moves which are bad are _really_ bad.  I was horrified to
see my program play the "attacking" move 12... g5??

It is probably version 0.2.10, the latest publically available version
(0.3.0 will be ready within a month, I think).  My program is not terribly
strong, and your win in a 150 game match shouldn't be a big surprise. :-)

What is the name of your program?  Does it have an account on ICC or FICS,
and is there a download somewhere?
