Of all the people to be saying that we should make decisions without evidence of
games, I would have expected you to be the last. :(

We have 7 games of Cilkchess total and 10 of Deep Junior (including Gelfand
games), and you have already decided that Deep Junior is better? You do not have
much evidence for that. Perhaps Cilkchess really deserves to be champion and it
was just bad luck it did not become champion.
