I explained why the above was nonsense... and forgot to explain the _real_ reason it bumped past 3250... three GMs have taken to playing it 30-40 games at a time, at 3 0. And they don't generally do very well. A sure way to drop rating points and run crafty's rating thru the roof. This has _always_ happened, to _any_ program that is automatic. A 1-200 rating point jump is not uncommon at all.
