Subject: CCC Members are Probably Very Strong Chess Players and NOT AVERAGE

Dear CCC Members,

Some of you may be nincompoops but your chess play is probably on a very high
level.  When you play machines that routinely do 10 to 12 ply searches with 30
ply extensions  I really do not think that you are the typical "average" or
casual player.  A chess rating is only gotten by playing "rated" players at
chess clubs or in human chess tournaments.  I have beaten USCF 1900-2000 players
but I can't touch the masters.  Why?  I am not smart enough. I only have an IQ
of 137 and that is slipping every day.  Bobby Fischer and Jerry Lewis on the
other hand have IQs of 180+.

I do occasionally beat or draw my programs on a 333Mhz PII with 64Mb RAM. That
is about one win in twenty to thirty games.  That guy who said that he had a
bridge to sell you if "average" players can beat todays top programs was totally
correct.  You are not average if you reside at this website.

Low-Grade Krell moron and sometimes nincompoop.
