Sure that this rule is what was and still stay in Ed's mind. >Fernando quote from www.computerchess.de: Shredder 3 (Stefan Meyer-Kahlen) Nimzo 2000 (Chrilly Donninger) W-Chess 2000 (Dave Kittinger) Zarkov 2000 (John Stanback) GrandmasterBook II (the ultimate opening CD-ROM) Top engines: Genius 6, Shredder 3, Nimzo 2000 THREE (3) top engines TWO "runners up" (2): Zarkov, W-Chess No engine at all: GrandmasterBook II If you assume a 200 point rating gain from W-Chess to W-Chess 2000, then that's FOUR (4) top engines ChessBase offers: Fritz 5 (16 and 32 bit) Hiarcs 6 (16 bit) Junior 5 (32 bit) Nimzo 99 (32 bit) FOUR (4) "ultra"-top engines. TWO "runners up" (2): Crafty, Comet Please get your numbers right, Fernando ;-) BTW, I'm glad to get a new version of Genius plus a new W-Chess from Kittinger; I can't hardly await to buy it. I just hope that they don't mess up the copy protection this time like with Genius 5, Shredder 2 (CD required at each start if you use Windows NT) and W-Chess 1.04 (program gone after 3 installs).
