I only have one computer so in order to match DF with F6 I had to use engine match. The test was done on a PIII 500 (1 cpu) with 128MB of SDRAM. Both shared F6s' book with 32 megs. of hash allocated to each engine. After 28 games DF was ahead by only 1 point. I think DF likes to enter endgames as soon as it gets the chance, and quite frankly may have hurt its' result against F6. I think F6 is the " Best Buy " if you use a single cpu. DF is too expensive, unless you have at least two cpus. The 24-30 point difference you _may_ achieve on a single cpu isn't worth twice the money IMO. Regards, Terry McCracken
