Alexander1 is the same as Alexander with the diference that all valeus of the pieces stand on 100 again. You will see that however it runs on less nodes is more tactical then for instance Junior or Deep Fritz6 It is espacialy nice to replay the games from Alexander1 with Fritz6 or Junior6 in anelyze mode. strangely enough putting the old emm386 memory line in the config also speeds it up It plays on 350.000 to 400.000nps on my machine.(AMD Athlon 800)
