Subject: Aristarch 4.4

Has there been any indication that this program is atleast comparable to the
lower-end professional engines?
ie, Nimzo8, hiarcs7.32, Gandalf5.

So far from my private testing, it is playing very good against Fritz7, Hiarcs8
and Shredder6.

Aristarch 4.4 vs. Shredder 6.02 = 3.5-6.5
   "      "   vs. Hiarcs 8      = 4.5-5.5
   "      "   vs. Fritz 7       = 2.5-1.5  (so far)


Time Control = 40/40
Hash         = 100mb
EGTB         = 3-4-5 men
Ponder       = off
Machine      = P III/1Ghz | 512mb SDRAM
GUI          = Fritz 7
Book         = All Program Using Own Default Book.

I am not sure, but atleast from my first impression it does'nt seem to play so
good at short time control.

Also the default book seems too small?

It's definately the Strongest Freeware Chess program (Until Ruffian comes out).

cheers,
