In any case, you have too much experience with chess programs to play surprised by Tiger's inability to mate with knight and bishop. There are many other shortcomings in chess programs that don't belong in your "2000 year program", and much more important than this mate, from recognizing bad bishops to being able to avoid blockades and weaknessess in the castle. I think it's understandable if a programmer has other priorities, and in my opinion Christophe has the right ones, as proven by Gambit. Look, he could have solved this mate at the expense of producing Gambit. What do you prefer? Enrique
