But I don't make the connection of your contention the post is silly? Also would suggest you let your friend play CM some 5 5 games and if he can win three in a row using tactics then you've made a valad point. Humans can win against programs in longer time controls no question about that, but in blitz it is damn near impossible to win three in a row. If GM's and IM's who play every day on ICC don't do it then it is logical, reasonable to question these games. TP TP
