He made a rediculous unbelievable claim that he can beat Fruit 80% >percent of the time, Are you sure? I may have missed a post of his, but I don't remember that Steen claimed anything like that. Anyway, although 80% is a bit(?) high, he might be able to score well against Fruit IF he is indeed a strong GM and IF fruit is indeed relatively (!) weak against humans. Many IF's there of course .. >such a statement is childish outladish, to even insult the >intelligence of the members here with such a claim in my opinion should ban him. >Then when the members here put him in check for his bullshit, he reacts by >playing the poor picked on victim.

His conclusions were based on what he described as the "feel" that he got when he played Fruit. I think we, as chessplayers, all know what he means by that, don't we? We don't have to play hundreds of games to "feel" that player A (computer or human) is stronger than player B, at least against us. , if he had the brains you attribute to him, he should know better. >I think Graham did well by getting rid of an arrogant blowhard.
