Jeroen,
Isn't it funny that chess is similar to politics and yet there is not much money
in either chess or computer chess. The amount of thought in chess/computer
chess far surpasses that of politics and the results of politics can be much
more pointless.
Play some more games if you can and let us be entertained. It is amazing how
such a nice program as CSTal is annihilated by the newer programs.
