It is Xevious v2.01 and plays naturally enough, under the ICC account name Xevious. It's blitz rating is currently around 2300 on a P/166. Looking back at its games list, vs. U-2600 club members, it has a 2-0 score against TDChess and a 0-1 against Rival. Interestingly enough, in the loss vs. Chrismo (Rival), it had a significant material advantage and won position then blundered into a tactical trap. On review, it spent 5 seconds thinking before blundering. On further thinking, it discards the blundering move at 6 seconds. Ah, such are the vagaries of computer chess. Dan
