Hi Paulo
I think my suspicious are pretty much confirmed, I did a little investigating
of this guy's history, I notice that he has beaten other computers also, Even
Hiarcs 7!! running on a pent 266 at game in 30. This appears to be a feat
beyond the ability of a mere 2200. Also the guy gave me his name, I looked it
up at the uscf home page, and it list his rating as 752!!!! Now I will give his
handle. Zombie-pawn!!
