A couple of important reality check notes here:

(1) this machine is only about 2x faster than the old machine I was using,
so it is not a Cray, or Deep Blue, or something invincible.  It is very strong.
But it can be beaten.

(2) during the day is the best time to play it, because I am working on this
machine all the time, and during the day I generally grab one cpu most of the
time for compiling linux stuff that I am working on.  If you play it after
10-11pm CST, you likely get the machine's undivided attention.  :)

good game however...
