Maybe its a bit of Luck. A few days ago I changed the move generator in my
program, and introduced a bug, which made Natwarlal nearly 100 ELO weaker. A day
before yesterday I played that version against Arasan on ICC and drew. Natwarlal
was running on 333Mhz celeron and Arasanx on 2.4Ghz P4 (or something similar).
And natwarlal is a lot weaker than arasan even if Natwarlal is playing a full
strength.
