Something that increases in importance as the engine becomes stronger. Not to mention the support from an organization like say Chessbase. Some of the current commercial entries doesn't necessarily have all that. They will ultimately fall behind (IMO). >Both Junior & Shredder won the world championship as amateurs. If by >"professional" means "having resources to do computer chess" then I guess Crafty >is the most professional program today. I have no idea if Bob fiddles with Crafty all day. Somehow I doubt that. Either way, the difference between optimizing a commercial engine and providing an accessible amateur is one purpose against multi-purpose. The level of (intended) efficiency is vastly different IMO. BTW, congratulations on the win. Regards, Mogens
