You are right, this is a tough program I think for humans to beat.
It is very aggressive and seems to take risks for the attack.
It has one of the biggest opening books though some of those lines
against computers are not so great.

I would like to see a MChess9 but it has to be windows, dos has had
it's day.

Thanks.
