Kai-Fu Lee posted an excellent commentary on my edge tables posting to
net.sources.bugs (I guess he felt my simple edge table strategy and
comments about "never beating your program again" were buggy :-)) which
you might want to consult if you care about these things.

He knows what he's talking about.  Last year "Bill" beat "Gray Blitz"
by a huge margin (I think it was 61-3).  At that time, "Gray Blitz"
employed the simple edge table construction.
