Hi David, > Your reply is more or less what I expected.

The problem under different GUIs and protocols is, that the engine is not aware who is the opponent. Because most Anti-Human routines against e.g. anti-chess can harm the performance against other programs. But of course Bob is right, the holes have to be closed, nothing else - I really wonder why so many complain about Pablo's games. In fact, as long it is possible for him to draw the machines so often they simply do not deserve their rating. I think back to those days where ChessTiger was playing at ICC and some operators abort the game when the human opens with a certain opening. THIS is lame ! If it is possible to beat it again and again with the same variation it is correct when it got beaten, it's rating is to high then. Greets, Thomas
