Too simple to be useful in real life: a mere 8 by 8 grid, no fog of war, no technology tree, no random map or spawn position, only 2 players, both sides exact same pieces, etc.

He won another game and got to 3401. But then he lost and dropped 14 points to 3387. He only gets one point for a win so I doubt he'll get to 3402 today. But soon? Who knows. He's a beast.

Edit

He got back to 3401. Damn.
