hi enrique,

yes, at the beginning of the tests i also didn´t think that gambit is better
than the normal version. but what i have seen so far, i have to admit that i
wasn´t right with my opinion in the beginning. after all what i have seen now, i
think that gambit is the stronger engine. it´s better on tournaments and it wins
more clearly against the most opponents even it has some problems against
special programs.

hmm, i think gambit is about 30-40 better than f6a. the rating for frtiz6/6a in
the cb-list is slightly weaker than for f6a because about 10-15% of the games
are with the old f6 version. the rest is f6a.
