Believe me, I know results from over 1.000 games (a lot of differnet people with different hardware). I think when a chess program have better results with longer time controls against the best chess programs at the moment is this for me the program for the next years. OK, the new Fritz T29 and Shredder 5 are also very very srong and Shredder 5 is new but next year the most people which have interest on computer chess have a faster PC ! I am sure ! Gandalf has a lot of chess knowledge ! Best Frank
