I dont know about tournaments. but I tell you, if they make "special preperations" before the tournament, and have a 100 elo influence on the program, then sadly there is 100 elo differance between the commercial version and the tournament version. As you dont expect "every single" consumer to tweak books and add "whatever resources" that will make it play better. Ofcourse they have good preperations. but its more or less like the other companies.........nothing special !! eg, Nimzo and Chesstiger did come with a good "opening book" preperation.... pavel
