hi thao,

muse is not around 2500 elo. it has an ICC blitz rating of around 2500, which is
inflated compared to normal ratings to start with, and the blitz rating of a
machine is usually much higher than it's actual rating. i'd put muse at around
2200 in tournament play.  i don't release it because it is still a baby program,
and i want it to be "for real" before releasing it :-)

e.g. i don't have underpromotions yet (hint: if you play it on ICC and promote
to anything but a queen you win the game...), i have no opening book, and i have
a lot of ideas on search and evaluation which still belong in there. i hope it
will be a good amateur program in the end, which it is not right now.

cheers
  martin
