A program that shows its top 3 moves and possibly a score and a main line. 2. Some kind of time so that you can calibrate with different hardware. For example: (one hour for 500 MHZ) AND (30 minutes for 1 GHZ) 3. Compare mostly with the best GM's, Deeper Blue, and the parallel processors used in Frankfurt and Dortmund. Overall, I find this more interesting than the hit and miss of comp vs. comp games with too many variables to use against them. Jonathan (88th message)
