I agree with Dann:  a _very_ strong engine.  I have tried it out at blitz
against a couple of commercials (game in 3) and it beat them in matches of
twenty... hmmm. I made a book for it using the Rebel Century basic game database
and it really kicked butt.  Yace is an excellent tactician, doesn't use much
strategy and goes for the kill right away.  Reminds me of some earlier Little
Goliath versions a bit.  Doesn't use tablebases, has no learning.
