Sure, if you say so. > To make this simple for you to understand, if you think that I have _ever_ programmed crafty to just sit and wait, you are full of snot. To even imply such a thing is rediculous... and says a lot about the way you think about things... because _I_ would not think of doing such a thing. Otherwise why would I give my password to GM/IM players? So that they can abort when they mouse slip. So that they can force it to offer a draw in obvious situations where it won't automatically. your implication is lower than low. _exactly_ like your implication in the Deep Blue discussion when you took kasparov's side, even though you had a perfectly clear game log excerpt that was crystal clear in its meaning. Only you didn't _want_ it to be crystal clear... I had un-noplayed you earlier, but I think I'll add you to my censor list now as I don't care to deal with people with such a crumby attitude. try cp > >>> >>> >>>I come to ICC to play.
