Of course you are right, Uri. I was merely accumulating some data on different
versions of Q5T. I am interested in the contrast between a normal and tactical
personality, to see how they differ in more positional problems, how far they
get apart and how close you can bring them together. If you know their
limitations for a tactical check I think they can be useful. If Q5T can solve
this Century will probably not be very much behind :) And since the
personalities and the standard vanilla Century are still related it says
something about how Century could evolve too, at least that was the basic
thought.. Now must run or I'll miss the train again, Merry Christmas!
