Neither Crafty against ParSoS. DIEP also showed a good game against FRITZ, but
then it has no idea often enough. But all these players are allegedly SUPER GM.
Something must be wrong here with the labels. IMO.

This is what this year's WCCC has shown. In combination with the skewed Swiss
pairing a total desaster for man and machine.

If Bob Hyatt could have been at the site he would have won this year's WCCC! He
has profited from this special percentage that the author has above his
operator. :)
