Good result !

The test has some easy tactics ( evens it up ) - and then some positional ones
most programs usually will "solve" with their opening book . Currently I suspect
this test maybe shows something , namely maybe the ability to play openings
without opening book ( only a vague guess ) - I am looking forward to see the
Chessmaster 8000 results .

It's only for fun and I think it _is_ fun :-)

Well , the difficult ones were not chosen in a very scientific way - I simply
took those that Bringer did not solve ( quite unfair ) . But as the competition
already has 10 programs now it probably should be kept like that now .

It would have been better to simply take all the positional ones and declare the
tactical ones easy ( what they are ).
