yes - i am very happy with it so far ! it makes fun to watch the interesting
games. the amateur programs are often underestimated, this is because the normal
public does not know about those amateur programs. but in the scene it is
a known fact that those amateurs, that do often and almost anywhere participate
where the BIG ones participate too, make big progress.
this is good for chess and also good for computerchess, because we always get
new programs with new approaches.
