Subject: "Paris Version" CST and the killing line played by R.Sherman

Hi Robert and all:
Now with the Paris version of the engine of CST I repeted the test and
this time the killing line is avoided by the program simply refusing to
castle after Ng5. After this last move, CST thinks the best is d6, and
play it. Then he thinks the best for white is Qh5. Wiht that, the line
ends and it is other game that begins here, with huge advantage for
black. Interesting to note that althought CST, in the beginning of the
search, gives a very high score to O-O, he quickly bypass it and goes to
a long examination of other moves, including d6. He never returns to
O-O.
Time was tournament 40/120 and my computer is a MMX 200. CST runned
from W95. CST would be then the only commercial program not to fall in
the trap at this rythm? If so, knowledge pay because CST calculate no
more than 3000 and something n/s in the said conditions.
