Yeah, my program has problems with the classic human anti-computer attacks. It
does _substantially_ better against other programs. In defense of my program,
almost all it's standard games were played by very early versions. The latest
two have played about 8 games (mostly yesterday), during which time it's rating
has risen almost 50 points. It's one game against a computer (SapphireII) was a
win.

I hope it's rating continues to climb. :)

It is definately weaker than the top programs, but I think it has a fighting
chance.
