No thanks. > > >Sorry, I forgot about that, you are right. On the other hand you will be a slave >of the CB autoplayer... The autoplayer of CB is fine. This is not the problem. What bothers me is that I will have to play CB engines in F532. F6 and J6 have too many bugs right now. >>>You may extend the tourney afterwards with Crafty and MChessPro8 (ranked 2nd in >>>your last tourney!), but at first I'd like to see the best playing each other.

PLEEEEASE! :-) >That would answer many questions... Yesterday I phoned my dealer and I'll get the machine this evening. I got up at 5am after 2 hours sleep, excited like a child. Even my 13 year old son is laughing. :( So: RT, S4, J6, F6 (which one?), H732 and N732 at 40/40 on 2 PIII-500 with 256MB RAM, 20 game matches, total of 300 games. After this is done (one month) I might enter another program. Enrique
