Hallo!

We all know the reasons for the above. At first on the new hardware-level we
test high placed programs and new programs. I guess that we have been even more
critizised if we had started with Genius2, Rebel7 and so on. Unfortunately we
donĀ“t have the resources to manually play CM6000 and are forbidden to play a lot
of other interesting new programs. Of course all or most of the following
programs should have been included in the list if we were allowed to play with
them, Genius6, Zarkov, Wchess, Shredder3, CS-Tal and Rebel10. We hope to include
McPro and maybe Rebel-Century, Chess-Tiger and Shredder4 as soon as possible,
sorry I forgot another new CB-program Nimzo7.32. Of course also CM7000 if it
includes auto-playing.
