Subject: C3-F6b (Taylor match) My opinion...

This was a 40/2 match on two machines played and posted
by Chris Taylor on 31 Dec 00. The score was C3 +9 -7 =8.
I studied these games and noted which engine I thought
"played better", according to my own chess values.
You may judge the worth of my opinions by my modest USCF
rating of 1803.

THE VAMOSAVERLAS QUALITY POINTS WINNER:

Century 3  +12 -6 =6

What is the meaning of this?

While the question "which is best", among the top programs,
becomes problematical and impractical to answer, the question
"which do I like best" can often be answered decisively. This
is the same judgement we must make when we study the best
human players of the past, and it is a fun hobby.

I advise those of you who are shopping for a program to use your
own judgement, and follow this method.
