Ferret was busted more than once according to a machine that was kibitzing
variations, but Vaganian, in a way like Rohde, didn't find the sharp wins but
has maintained a good position.

As I write this, material is equal, but Vaganian has a huge advantageand will
almost certainly win.  More than one way to skin a Ferret? :-)

Ok, sorry about that last one, Bruce. :-)
