Steve, let's stay real. When I look at the first five games I see 4 ordinary about even book lines for both, that didn't have any major influence on the game result, and one forced book win for Crafty. To say that the results are void is grossly exagurrated. What if tomorrow's game shows some unknown bug in Junior? Will the same rules apply? Who knows why Junior played the horrible h5 move in the second to last game? Maybe some bug? It's a match - in case there is some error from my side I'll consider to rerun of course - same if something were setup in a wrong way - but programs will commit errors that might be due to either short-comings or bugs - else all games would be perfect and probably drawn. All the best, Peter
