Hmm, doubtfull. Can Vincent beat FIBChess in 20 moves, without a board, while
eating a pizza ?

IIRC Pacque Expert didn't have a qsearch wich made it tacticly blind since it
was only searching 8 ply or so. Although that was 2000, he might have made some
progress.

Funny detail: Bruno had to pay 250$ to participate in Londen 2000, since his
program had been distributed with a french newspaper, wich made him a semi
professional in the eyes of the ICCA.
