True, but there are also differences from Mchess/Gambit on one side and CST on the other. I think that the key word in the three cases is speculation. They are speculative to different degrees, Gambit closer in this regard to CST, but more balanced, like Mchess. >cstal and gambit-tiger follow one main-idea, very nasty way, very penetrant, >the whole game. >when i remember it right mchess was not that penetrant and suffered from >changing mind concerning plans. True too, but the ability to change plans is good when the king-side attack fails. There are games in which Gambit keeps attacking like a monomaniac when the attack already faded away. I am not saying that Mchess switched plans always for the good reasons, but changing mind, trading some advantages for different ones, switching from kingside to queenside at the right moment, has to be tought to speculative programs. Easier said than done, I'm sure. >i hope marty comes back, also we dont have to forget de koning and >others. kittinger e.g. ! >they all gave a stone that builds the new temple ! Keep an open mind and don't forget some others. You would be surprised, very. Enrique
