IMO you should also play against weaker humans. They may well achieve a draw against your engine (as they do against Quark from time to time). If you exclude those players you will not get the real rating against humans. >i want only knew how the strength is of Tornado agains humans. to play humans is not easy anyway - you can use a weakened engine (My LittleQuark is usually ALWAYS occupied when it is on) or you can have some special features like accepting and offering draws etc. - especially when the engine is strong, strong humans do not like to play stupid draws on and on and on. Also resigning might be a good idea when you want to play against humans. Greets, Thomas
