Hello

>We have seen many examples of class players drawing
>against these programs.

Especially in the fora these "players" tend to publish their draw or wins but
usually forget to puplish their 10 (or more) lost games.

E.g. I saw a row of 15 games of a recently very activ publisher here of which 14
were lost. The last one was a win on time (256 moves and the comp did not move
anymore...) and you should habe seen the fuzz that was going on afterwards!
Interestingly this guy resigns immediately if a line opens, even if it was
opened with a knight or a rook sac (contemped factor) for a pawn. In other
words, the player was UP a rook and resigned nevertheless just because of an
open line versus the comp.

Bye
Ingo
