Thank you for your comments. Of course we will make such a spreadsheet, when everything is clear and fixed. So far this is only a wish-list and things come more and more precise , but are not 100 % sure. If you e.g. take crafty, i would like to contact bob and other crafty-experts themselves and ask them, so that it is OK for THEM. this all takes time. some people are in holidays. but it will work in the end. We don't have to be 100% precise. this is no world-computer-chess-championship. but i will give my best to make it as accurate as i can. of course any participants or kibitz has the right to criticize. its an open tournament. >Greetings >Alex to come back to your comments concerning genius: i have created a new style for genius6.5 that seems to make it significantly stronger. i want to test if genius is capable to "come back" with a change of its playing strength. IMO richard threw the thing to early. the reason genius is weaker is a) it gets outsearched b) its completely passive playing style. the thing with the others outsearching genius can be changed, and the passive playing style thing can be changed. my style is IMO as good as fritz, and will hopefully increase genius' playing-strength. therefore i want to use this experimental version. we all know how strong genius is, we can read it in ssdf-lists. so bringing normal genius into the field would give a kind of reference, but i have no doubt that genius would not have any chance. the opening book and the search and the style is overtaken by time. therefore i want to play with MY genius-version.
