These attacking engines are lots of fun and may prove advantageous over human opposition. If programmers spend alot of time on exploring such possibilities they might feel it a waste just to toss the engine out just because it does not perform as well versus other computers. I think Christophe's Gambit is the product of much thought and by his disclosure was a last minute inclusion into the Rebel 11 package. I like some others believe that Tiger 13 is a bit stronger than Gambit. Maybe it was chessmaster that started the ball rolling with its personality tweaking engine. > Might Junior 7.00 etc. be very strong? I believe the risk is too great to release a program with no noticable strength improvement. I'm guessing that the new Junior will be improved over previous versions. >S.Taylor
