Thank Kurt.

I was only trying to be honest and to show both sides of the "playing field".

While I don't like Ed's style of play, there is _nothing_ wrong with it. He
simply takes the easiest route to a win by exploiting an engine's weaknesses.

If this were hockey and he was playing against a goalie with a weak glove hand,
would it be considered "cheap play" to shoot high glove side? Of course not. It
would be simply playing the game to his advantage.

Personally I would rather slap the puck so hard it goes _through_ him and I see
his heart in the back of the net as well :)
