Maybe in this game. Mongredien vs Morphy, 1859 Jan-28-21    Z4all: A 1194-rated player drawing Morphy?! A fairly unknown 2012 paper, presumed to be using computer evaluations only to 13-ply depth to measure player strength?! I had a look, but don't think others really need to (unless interested in IPR/ICR history). Anyways, why mention that paper now? Even Regan seems to have moved on to other topics (i.e. cheating in chess): http://www.buffalo.edu/news/experts... Jan-28-21    perfidious: Dang, fida been alive in 1858, Ah woulda put up mah dukes, cuz Ah coulda taken on Morphy--iffen Mongredien was only 1194, Ida bin at least 1250 strength!
