Yes.  I think it is fun to see these early ratings, even though they are
unreliable.

Yes.

This seems likely, but I think the next version of Jonny will also end up very

Glaurung probably won't improve for a while, though.  Right now I'm having a
little break from chess programming, and when I start again in a month or

before the end of the year.
