However, I'm not quite convinced that it's better than Lg2000, Comet, SOS, Phalanx, Gromit and TCB yet, even at blitz. I suppose that will be determined within the nearby future. >Agreed again..Yace Threw away many winning positions, i suspect it lacks >understanding about opposite coloured bishops, and rook pawns.. I don't think its endgame knowledge is significantly worse than other programs that don't use tablebases. But there's always room for improvement. >Yes..The current Yace018 has implemented resigning options, select citeria of -X > evaluation over Y moves and right now it has quite a few tuning parimeters to >play with..He's a really fast programmer.. Yes, you really have to think fast to figure out what features you would like implemented. When he implements book learning and tablebases then I'll be more than satisfied. >Perhaps the Chessmaster fans here who like to experiment with testign could try >playing with Yace..It's a new yet strong program with lots of room for >improvement.. Yes, you could say that Yace has a more bright future compared with Chessmaster 6000 :o). But it appears as if a lot of people own a copy of that particular program, so they're probably finding the testing procedure very useful. I don't think Yace has a shortage of persons dedicated to testing it thoroughly. Best wishes... Mogens
