  5. Ivan, Kister is a decent scalp to collect, a seminal Indiana player... probably close to master strength back in the day.

  6. Thanks everyone, I must say that in the last game against the expert, I went from slightly better to slightly worse to losing and then won when my opponent made the only losing move.
