I think it's more interesting and better, but it's not like I do intensive development constantly, and I do not do autotesting or anything like that. The current version of the program is more aggressive and has a better understanding of piece placement and pawn structure. Your comment is more or less fair. I think that Fritz has gotten a lot better in the last year or so. I don't know about the others because I haven't seen them as much. Mine may have or may not have. I may occasionally make claims about my children, but it is my habit to make zero claims about my program. Any reputation I may have has nothing to do with anything I've said about my program. I wouldn't have gone to this if invited. First, there is the issue of travel, since I don't give out copies of my program to anyone. Second, this event started out as a battle of champions, and will probably be perceived as such even after that notion has been dropped, and I don't want to undercut Shredder, who has represented us well as current world champion and micro champion. bruce
