It's only an executable, and only if somebody has the original CD version, it can be overwritten over the 2.00 executable of the CD. >What about the CST2 patch that allowed it to be upgraded to >CST2.50? Chris Whittington mentioned that in one of his posts >to rec.games.chess.computers some time back in 1999. the 2.5 version had a broken engine. it was only made for programmers to implement foreign engines into cstal user interface. the tal engine was broken, it is not playing sensible. it plays very weak. the 2.03 version is the strongest version. there is no other version since chris whittington left computerchess. he sold his company for a large amount of money to purple. as far as i know he lives with his big big family, last time i asked he had 6 children :-))) , and an amount of animals of all kind, in a nice new house near a nice river. maybe he sits the whole time under a tree, in the shadow, reading all kind of newspapers. but he stopped computerchess. from his point of view chess programmers were not intelligent enough for him. so he got interested in other stuff. he wrote a shogi program. and did other stuff later... >Does the patch still exist? Where can I get it from? as i said: you can get the latest and strongest version from me. >Regads >Frankie Kam, >a Chess System Tal Fan >"Positional Chess Vs Brute Force" - who will win? of course the positional. but - chess system tal is not in the first place playing positional. in fact it tries to complicate the game. but if you want to talk about A.I. against Artificial Stupidity chess programming, that would be a topic... we could come with many examples of todays chess programs.
