yup, I agree. I have never read Pablo boast about himself or his play. He seems
like a nice guy to me. There are millions of people that it is 100% impossible
for them to win a chess program game. Pablo has won many, good for him.
It seems the most offended are the people that can beat a program occasionally.
It seems they do not have the energy that Pablo has. Who cares?
Pablo, I do not drink, but I offer you a cold Bud Lite, in a frosty mug with
crispy cashews and 24 very hot wings. Please turn your head to burp.
Now lets all play another game.
