Hi,
maybe it's because your engine is too strong for most humans on ICC. My engine
(roce) played more than 2000 games in just a few days on ICC. My engine is
rather weak though and that might be the reason that a lot of human players like
to play it.
I didn't check all of the games but I doubt it played a single computer in this
time. But you are right that a lot of humans abort the game. Usually if they
have to play with the black pieces.
