Maybe the windows version will be better. I don't think Chris has told us what CSTAL does, but I was under the impression that its eval is more or less normal (except for having more knowledge than most so it can come up with a reasonable number even in non-quiescent positions) and that the mysterious "Tal function" is not in the eval, but is instead something to do with choosing how to expand the tree -- back when Chris was talking about it he said things about how it could win even with many fewer nodes than other programs, because it had a different set of nodes.
