It is why the most treasured possessions of players like Umansky are their (self-annotated) databases.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459360717297142573.post-1127454841548801162008-06-13T21:05:00.000+10:002008-06-13T21:05:00.000+10:00Based on my post-facto analysis on my CC games ove...Based on my post-facto analysis on my CC games over the years, I'm pretty certain that my opponents weren't receiving compute assistance.
