You bet, we are all curious! >Yace Yace is an interesting program but its book is even worse as that of DIEP not to mention engine! Yace should be way below insomniac which is below patzer SOS. Note SOS also has an amateur world title, so seeding it as #3 would not raise much questions. >Diep (Of course Vincent will think Diep should be higher) >Insomniac >LambChop (Not favouring my own program too much I hope :-) Lambchop obviously above insomniac, lambchop is starting commercial nowadays! >Patzer >SOS SOS miles above Patzer, note i wonder how they plan to operate patzer without forfeiting, i hope Frank solved his hardware problems! >PostModernist >ZChess/Pharoan Pharaon should be clearly above PM. >Bringer >Chester >Amateur >Arasan >Sjeng >Terra > >Shrike >Tinker >Monsoon >Dorky >Averno >Tristram >Butcher >Searcher >Chezzz >Armageddon >Celes > > >cheers, >Peter
