My program has a score of 0.0 in about 20 games with Gnuchess. The terms "pansy" and "real program" are somewhat metaphorical. I consider any program I can beat with my insignificant brain to be a pansy. I have yet to beat CM6000 or Rebel 10 at 40/2. I have not beaten Crafty in well over a year (I'll blame it on the hardware upgrade to PII 300). Most of the time I lose against CM/Re/Cr, rarely even achieving a draw. So those are "non-pansy" opponents. In my vernacular. If you are actually upset, allow me to say that your program is much stronger than any I have ever written (which is none). Also, that I was simply implying that calling a program "the new Morphy" requires something more than defeating GNUChess. It is sort of like, "I have defeated Dann Corbit in a chess game! Am I the next Kasparov/Fischer/Tal/<Insert favorite world champion SGM here>!" I think that would be rather inconclusive towards the claim.
