Yes, you are fully correct. When I tested the version we were going to use I found problems which were not expected, so I believed there was at least a bug in that version. I have told this to SMK several times that with that version I was afraid we woul not have won a single game and maybe loose some, but we used that one anyway. We did loose 2 due to weaker variations and one to a bug in the program. We never kept an advantage when we had it... Recently this bug was found, so I was fully correct in my expectations and my analysis of the program was correct also on the bug theory too. Too bad too late... I am not saying that without the bug we would have won. No one knows this, but with an handicapped version we had not hope and we did loose... > >Hydra is also irrelevant to the discussion because we compare only programs that >are available. I agree.
