I have some nits to pick about that strategy chart. The IC BJ game (8 decks, dealer stands on 17, double-down on any two cards, double after split allowed, no re-splitting of cards allowed, no surrender) appears to be Atlantic City rules or very close to them. Based on that I don't believe their chart is correct in the following respect.

The chart shows you should split 9s against a 7, a Ten, and an Ace. I stand on these. I'm getting my info from Blackjack for Blood. If I'm wrong about this, could someone please set me straight about why?

I got the same answer as you using the Perfect Play Blackjack Applet. Your answer is also consistent with the strategy recommended for Cryptologic games on wizardofodds.com.
