Tell that to Kasparov :) >Isn't the engine-engine fight not the original goal? No, it's not. Chess is the original goal (= engine + opening theory + endgame theory + much more). Also for your customers. And with respect to Fritz 5, I don't know exactly what has been going on with this SSDF testing. The customer should be able to get the same version as used in SSDF testing, I agree with that. For the rest I'm not so impressed by the Fritz engine. Hiarcs, Mchesspro, and Rebel seem to have the best 'engines', but they often have big differences in evaluations of different positions. Increasing speed (Deep Blue) is one solution; for personal computers, it's not so easy. But at least fair chances for every program should be allowed. Included book-learning; which, I repeat, is not cheating. It's not that important, either. Unless it would be done properly ofcourse; but that's not as easy it is often thought to be Again, ask Kasparov, I would say; he seems to be interested in 'advance chess' (using a PC); so maybe you can tell him to switch off opening books :) regards, Jk
