No need to name the programs.... show me on opponent cstal loses 9 out of 10. without using the chessbase autoplayer and other dirty tricks. play the games manually operated 40/120 and ponder on NOT on XT-machines but on intel MMX or AMD. show me one program cstal loses 9 out of 10. >As many of us know, you can take cm6000 and get the same style of play as CST, >but with a much better tactical eye. you are free to use the program you want. cstal works different than the king. but sometimes produces similar results. but the king cannot play this much "unsound". >I have nothing against CST style of play or any style of play, but the program >must be able to win with that style. your 9/10 is a lie. only if you manipulate the circumstances in favour of the other program, than you can work out a 9/10. but not in a real match on a championship. >Mark "The Bean Counter" right. counting faked beans.
