After completion of the test I did with the killing line of Robert Sherman, I begun my own series of tournament games at 40/60 only to discover that CST is really what it is supposed to be, at my cost... I have all top programs, with the only exception -by now- of Schedder- and of course, not being myself more than a 2100 player, I lose 8 times of 10 after agonizing fights and the rest are difficult draws, with a miraculous winning here and there, but you can believe me that never before I had been mauled in such a way as CST did with me. Is not just tactical shots, but unrelenting attack and at least the Paris version running now in my program does not launch just "wild" swings, but very well thought ones. He handle things in such a manner you always have the feeling that "If" you only have one time more to do that last final movement, all would be fine, but... I lost three games in a row, but they were so interesting even for me, the loser, that I scarcely finished one I was beginning the next. I was all the time expecting the "wild" and unsound movement to punish the beast, but the opportunity never arose. In one of them, in a ending after more than 45 moves and where he was a pawn above me, I was sure I could handle that in order to get a technical draw, but the bastard saw it all and say goodbye... If any of you is interested in the game, I can send it even at the cost of my face and repiutation. It is just that I want to share with you my feeling that this is really something... Fernando
