Go up one level in this thread



I am very glad that you are going to play Crafty! Please post the date you
expect to play and your handle, so that those who have participated in this
thread can watch!
Although it is kind of interesting...to me, it seemed that your original post
indicated that you felt you could beat these programs very easily...that none
could stand up to you...are you now saying that that isn't the case, and that
you just expect to not get shut out in a series of games? These are *vastly*
different statements...similar to saying "I can beat Pete Sampras to win a match
very easily" versus "I can play Pete Sampras, and not lose every game."
