Hi Sune:
I presume you mean CSTAL. If it is like it, but besides has solidity enough to
beat other programs, then surely must be a beast. I suppose to handle that kind
of a program you must attack the first and put him in problems before he bring
on you his clawns. One recipe: long castling and then at once launch the pawns
againts the bastard with a good batery of rooks behind and of course a vigilant
knight in e5 or so and hopefully a bishop moppingg the place with sneaky fire.
Oh, yeah, too much war history books...
Fernando
