       Dlugy also has 6 games against Mink (2 wins, 4 losses).  Actually Dlugy
has played a fair number of games vrs computers.  I found 193 (40 wins, 121
losses, 32 draws which is 29%).
       "wannabee" (icc rated 2890 when I checked) also plays computers.  I found
372 games (84 wins, 215 losses, 73 draws which is 32%).
       So the two pools are not totally disconnected.
