Sarah, 1. Can you add another program into all this testing easily, e.g. Shredder 5 when it is released? 2. Are you sure that Fritz 6b was the one to be tested, and not 6a? Isn't 6a known to be a bit stronger? (or is it an improved version of 6b)? 3.It is interesting that the two Tigers are quite ahead of the field, but I don't know if that is a reliable indication that they are THAT much better. (for various reasons, part of which, see item 4) 4.But since you are doing such intensive testing, it's a shame you didn't incorporate my idea of including a small amount of 1)non-book openings, and 2)fischerandom openings, and an even number of 3)k-pawn and 4)Q-pawn openings (book) and all the above (categoties of openings) the same amount of games for each colour. I thought such a plan would give much more food for thought and assesment of program strength etc. But now, I suppose you've already done too much like this. OR perhaps you disagreed with me, but hardley anyone replied to my postings of these ideas. But I would have been happy to hear why people disagreed, OR to actually do it according to some similar plan, if they didn't disagree. S.Taylor
