Personally this was a waste of $50 CDN. > >Peter The 100 stronger than 5.0, I would say is correct if you stick it against the same opponents as played by 5.0. Gandalf 5.0 Shredd8 A1200 1-7 Junior8 A1200 14½-25½ Shredd6 A1200 18-22 DpFritz A1200 16-24 GT2.0 A1200 12½-29½ CT14 CB K6450 16½-23½ Shred5 K6-450 29-11 I think if you stuck 5.0 with the SSDF opponents that Gandalf 6 will be playing you would find it wouldn't score so well. As for the top 5 in the SSDF, I have no idea where that came from? Also you mention the results against Hiarcs 9. Chris Taylor as I recall posted those and Chris had nothing to do with the beta testing of Gandalf 6 but the results were independent. And last, I would trust those results posted by Chris and his autoplayer over those which you show us against Pro Deo 1.0 (Experimental-X Highly Modified). Which after all simply say that Hiarcs 9 scored better in 10 games than Gandalf 6 did. Sarah.
