Default GetClub vs. Jester games faked?

It took you that long to figure out?


Well, if you check the archives, I made a post very similar
to that one /a long time ago/.


It is possible that Sanny is trying to run both Java applets
on a single computer, and somehow or other it has allocated
most of the resources to the GetClub program, or for whatever
reason it is not running normally on his end.

My experience has been that Jester runs quick and strong,
but that does not mean it works that way for everyone. For
instance, I seem to be the only one complaining about the
*frequent* disconnects at GetClub, despite numerous other
posters here who will complain about everything imaginable.

Obviously, if Sanny never responds to my questions then
people will assume the worst (like they haven't already!).
But this at least gives him another opportunity to address
the issue (or stop posting those "fake" games).

I have been having a bit more trouble lately with the Normal
level at GetClub, and I believe this is because it is playing
stronger than before. Against Beginner level however, I still
win quite easily. It might be interesting to compare the
actual results of Sanny's chess program to what naysayers
predicted a year or so ago; I believe the program has either
been switched for a /real/ chess program, or else it has
improved dramatically. (Yet if there had been a switch, how
do you explain my beating it on any level?)
