Yes, the new Comet is very, very strong. Just how strong at 40/120 I don't know, but at short time controls it is imposing. There is something about it that reminds one of a master human player... It plays aggressively and goes for the jugular right away, does not mess around much. Its opening book is simply the sharpest I've seen in quite some time, finely atuned vs humans... There are some other observations regarding its play, but I don't think that I'll share them with you just right now. Perhaps Ulrich can do something about them, and then what we'll have is a real monster on the board. One example, against a very strong human, time 2 12 (two minutes per game + 12 secs increment): [Event "ICS rated blitz match"] [Site "fics.onenet.net"] [Date "1998.05.13"] [Round "-"] [White "Comet A90 Winboard console"] [Black "A.nother"] [Result "*"] [WhiteElo "*"] [BlackElo "2305"] [TimeControl "120+12"] 1. e4 c6 2. d4 d6 3.
