Whatever machine I use, CSTal gets the same. If the ssdf-guys use P90 instead of P200, it would be also fair if BOTH programs would get the same machine ? CSTal suffers also on a slow machine because it has problems in the tactically area of the game and could maybe outsearched. So - as an addition to my games so far I will present games Nimzo98 (Paderborn version) vs. CSTal. Here CSTal wins playing on the auto232-autoplayer-device in much better scores than against Fritz5. No wonder. If it draws against Fritz5, and Nimzo98 is weaker, it should get better results. Nimzo98 is also a very fast and clever program. I will post the games as soon as the number is enough for a first view.
