Thanks for your results.
I'd like to hear of more people's results, too.
You probably have experience, and obviously the human with the queen SHOULD win
easily. But I would still be interseted to hear if many people aren't surprised
that it doesn't always go like they expect.
I found that playing even the latest Arasan with Arasan having its Queen
removed, got very tricky, if I thought I could do what I like. Maybe Arasan is
quite good at complicating, more than Shredder and Fritz.
Also, at the beginning of a game, the job of winning is still not yet done. In
the middle, there's absolutely every reason to resign if you lost a Queen, or a
lot less too.
