Bear in mind that nowadays there are plenty of engines capable of defeating GMs often enough to worry "statistical experts". Top engines win "more often" than normal engines do... but they don't all the time. This, for amateur programmers like me, it's fun, but for professionals such as Stefan, this is "what we do for a living"!!!! Maybe by allowing Chessbase to get more money in publicity, programmers like Stefan can survive giving other people "a challenge" to live! I'm nearly sure this is not your main job, is it??? Take it easy, and Marry christmas, Jaime
