If you have read my previous posts about testing SOS you will have observed that this program (3/2000) is able to destroy Fritz6a +3 =1 -0 , that is 3,5-0,5 (!!) in long 'almost tournament time' games. I think that that this SOS is currently one of the top programmes in the world, including all the commercials. Perhaps the problem is that is has been almost unkonwn being one of the 'Young Talents'... ;-) Regards, Tom.
