My program currently by default does not use a check extension.... I have been experimenting with one for a long time, and cannot provide conclusive evidence that it is better. But this is mostly playing my program against itself, and it doesn't care about king safety, so either side is unlikely to come up with a kingside attack that would make the check extension useful. So..... I am looking for the most aggressive, kingside-oriented freeware winboard programs available to test against. If they are not as strong as Crafty, that would help too. Can anyone give me a list of programs that excel in the kingside attack department? I think that Arasan is a poor choice; it likes positional stuff more (or at least it beats my program positionally as well as tactically), LGG might be a good choice, but I would have to play 300 games for my program to get enough wins/draws to come up with anything statistically significant.... How about LambChop? Does it's style ring of kingside attack? Phalanx? Where can I get GNUchess 5.0? LDB might be possible, but it makes too many tactical errors. Inmichess?? Gromit? Der Bringer? Any help would be appreciated. James
