What a nice analysis engine it would be to plug into CA (or CB). Likewise, wasn't Theron announcing a Pocket-PC version. That would be a lot more useful for the chess community than a DeepTiger. If they have time to participate in this event, theire current version should be more than good enough. It's a competition, neither more nor less, but a very exciting one (I'm looking forward to it like a child waiting for the xmas). >Surely a programmer as good as Christophe would have had it >working by now :) Not before SSDF start testing with SMP-machines :) Odd Gunnar
