Are there are any formal positional test results? Does any strong player >(besides the reviews at the Rebel site) have an opinion Century 3’s positional >play as the best (whether or not it may make it to the SSDF top few)? ------------- The SSDF list only proves that what ever program is on the top of the list was the best at that time in beating other chess programs under similar conditions but doesn't prove that it's the best at winning against very strong players at tournament time controls of 40 moves/2 hours. Rebel Century 3.0 was fine tuned to play it's best against strong human opponents and there for it is possible that it might not be the best program when it is matched against one of the other top programs. I believe that one of the reasons for this is that the more knowledge a program has it can't think as deep into the position because it is a slower thinker compared to the tactical monster "Fritz" that has less knowledge to slow it down, so it has more time to think deeper because of it's faster search.
