Are you the Walter Irvin with a USCF rating of 1616? Or the Walter Irvin with a USCF rating of 1250? If so, it is totally inconceivable that you are even *remotely near* the strength of any of the top programs. I know...I am a USCF Master (rated 500+ points higher than you), and I am not even near them. You were on here several months ago talking about how you had the best program in the world, etc. But you refused to allow me to play it. You made an outrageous claim then, and you are making an outrageous claim now. If you expect *anyone* here to give any credence at all to anything you say (and not just about this...literally any comment you make will be considered trivial unless you validate yourself on this one) you must prove your statement. Bob Hyatt offered to let you play Crafty on ICC. If you can beat Crafty (without the aid of a computer on your end), then your statement may have some merit. But unless you do this, you will be considered some random crank, who just logs on every once in a while, and who obviously knows so little about computer and chess that his statements should be ignored completely. WHy do you post such statements if you are unwilling to back them up? They fly in the face of *all* evidence and experience. You must realize that they appear very peculiar to say the least.
