I've always wondered:  How do you get all these games against GMs?  I have
the impression that strong human players on ICC prefer to play against weak
programs.  Back when my engine had a ICC blitz rating in the 2200-2400 range,
I got lots of games against human players, including many titled players.
Now, when my engine is rated above 2700 most of the time, I hardly ever get
any games against humans any more.  How Crafty with its 3200+ rating can
get so many games against GMs is a mystery to me.
