Sometimes, a single move is enough to recognise the quality and potential of a chess program. Se6 is one of these. On this occasion, I have "introduced" Ferret to the readers of the CSS Forum, although Ferret doesn't need introducing anymore of course, but I'm sure there are still some, or many, who do not know very much about Ferret still. So I thought let's show them this move: http://f23.parsimony.net/forum50826/messages/20341.htm Btw. if you like to comment there or whatever, please feel free to post in english too (although major language is german there, but english is read at least :o).
