No! I haven't seen strange things happen with Shredder, Nimzo and the MCS autoplayer. >>And I know that no other autoplayer has such requirements: large enough >>hashtables for the chosen time control, large enough book and endgame CD-rom in >>the drive. > >A bright move from CB.

If I want to test for myself, say 10-20 special openings for my personal use, and try to find out which program plays them best, it is NOT POSSIBLE to participate the Cb family because of that damn autoplayer. Furthermore, my Laptop had 48MB RAM/MMX166 and didn't swap upto 24MB hash size. On this laptop it was not enough and if wanted to use the Cb autoplayer I would have had to set the hash size higher where swapping wasn't avoidable. So am I not to use that autoplayer as I don't fulfill the hardware requirements?? Come on Enrique, you are a clever man and shouldn't be so one-track-minded.
