Of course, I only gave it 10 seconds per move, and used the sneaky italian opening posted by the fellow who beat Rebel 9 in 16 moves.;-) It's pretty strong for a slow-searcher. But, whoa, what a funky interface. It won't even read game files it saves unless they have the .hsv extension. On the whole, pretty un-maclike. If they want to hire me to write the interface for v7.0, I'm available. ps, when you play as a commercial program on a server, do you identify that you are a computer? WW
