Hi! >In my humble opinion, I think Chessmaster 6K or 7K is "stronger" than Crafty >17.13, so I'm not surprised. How on earth can you say that (well, of course I am not to say what you can say or can't, but... ;)? Crafty 17.13 isn't even released yet. And besides, this is not a matter of opinions. What do we mean when we say that a program is stronger than another? I think we all agree that the program which gets more points against another program is stronger, when number of games --> infinity, period. And if people knew more about statistics they wouldn't make so many posts like "Crafty won Rebel 1-0!! Something wrong with Rebel????" When two programs are very equal you need many (100+ or even 1000+) games to see the true relation. 1 game means allmost nothing. One game means _a little_, but can't draw any general conclusions on just one game...IMHO... :) Severi
