Mike,

I agree that Pablo's anti-chess methods are not very interesting to watch to a
conclusion, his claims to invention notwithstanding. They are sometimes to the
point of being "sissy."  I don't post anything here as an endorsement of it.

However, what does have my interest is that a mere unranked human can draw and
sometimes win against the best professional and amatuer programs and machines
available, including Hydra.  They are a long way from your old Radio Shack 1450.
 I wish that when I was "down and out," I could turn to challenging Hydra with a
decent chance of a draw.   DHM
