I had an idea tonight: I would watch Genius (on my Palm III) crush TSCP (on my Celeron/400). Well, that idea backfired. I played two games between the programs. Genius was set to 1 sec/move for both games. TSCP was set to 5 sec/move for the first game and it absolutely crushed Genius. I figured the hardware advantage was way too big, so I set TSCP to 4 ply and played another game. TSCP crushed Genius again. Then a friend of mine came to visit. He's rated ~1500 blitz on some chess servers. I asked him to play Genius. I wouldn't say he crushed Genius, but he did win after 30 or 40 moves. And he was playing faster than Genius, too. I watched all 3 games, and Genius was making some very weird moves. It seemed to cripple its own pawn structure on purpose, and it kept moving its pieces to the corners. Comments??? -Tom
