I do however use Gandalf, as I am one of 2 testers for Steen Suurballe, and yes it is indeed very strong... I like the positional play, and tactics are very good as well... As for the strongest Winboard engine, I think it is close, along with Crafty, SOS, and WBNimzo2000. The Windows port of SOS needs some work as it is not half as strong as the Linux port... Maybe Dann or someone could port it to Windows without using a complier different than MSVC++, as I don't belive that many others do a great job compiling chess programs or other programs for that matter...oops I just admitted I like a MS product.. Shame on me :)
