You're probably right, but the "don't comment on a game in progress" rule is one of the few hard-and-fast rules of the site, and I'd like to keep it working.

that's like saying oh psh i'm only stealing 2 dollars, the thing is, you're still stealing.

nope, it's not the same thing. if you steal 2 dollars, you will change something. but when a 1600+ player makes a very general comment about a game of that calibre, it won't change anything.

It depends on your computer, I think.

Practice shows that even the best engine can lose. I would suggest to check out databases with games played by engines.
