If you can read Japanese, the YSS results are on this page= : http://www32.ocn.ne.jp/~yss/24rating.html Even if you can not read Japanese there is some interesting info on this page. The graph at the top shows how YSS's rating changed during the 52 games. The graph at the bottom shows how the YSS rating changed over the years. Extending this graph will mean that YSS will be the top club24 performer in less than five years...

I think that to topple computers, long term strategies are needed combined with careful execution. 15'+60" sounds to fast for me to do this with a consistently high chance of success. BTW, a majority of the losses of YSS was against anaguma. This is a problem strategy for most computers because breaking down an anaguma requires a long term attacking plan. Give it a try next time you play a computer...
