Yes, Like Rebel, it has a very nice style against humans, and also a good (certainly for the time), very well tuned opening book, for the way the program plays. And probably for studying certain lines in the Open games & Nijdorf Sicilian, it was good too. But no updates in a long time, and no coversion to a nice Windows interface, make it an undesirable program to own. If Mr. Hersch can (or did he?), sell the engine to the Milleneum, or Chess Base guys, then we would be able to have fun with it again. Or if he is going to come out with a windows version of his own one day, then... But there are so many programs availble now, one has to doubt the markability of programs that are not much around anymore, like MChess. Larry T.
