I guess we're all different. Last week, I actually did win a 9-stone handicap game in a simul match against a pro, but I'm not about to claim that this gives me bragging rights or anything, lol. My guess is that a) I did have a formidable handicap; b) he was distracted by playing half a dozen other people, and c) this was probably a teaching game; spending 40 minutes fighting to encircle and kill his group taught me a lot about the many snares which a pro can set, and how to circumvent them. This might not help me defeat Lee Chang Ho any time soon, but it will help my next club match. :)
If my program won on time in an obviously lost position, I'd be turning every rock to find a way to improve the actual play; that matters much more to me than the win-loss record.
