It's Frans Morsch. Secondly, frans is a hard working person, but he definitely has no chess rating and never will have one. And third and last: he has had 20 years of time now to implement knowledge, and despite that he is in a position to definitely experiment with it, and i don't doubt he tries, his main problem can be defined as that every piece of knowledge he adds means that all tuning he has worked on for years is worthless. If you have a very well tuned engine as fritz OBVIOUSLY is, then with so little knowledge in its evaluation, the truth/false evaluation of a pattern is important. Some decisions get taken based upon a few hundreds of a pawn, or 0.1 whatever. If you then add good bishop/bad bishop or whatever pattern, this means that it will play strategically completely different as you tuned for it for years. So it's pretty impossible for him to change a lot on the evaluation, without needing another 2 years of tuning, whereas the many knowledge (and tuning bugs!) in diep makes this a lot simpler. But i don't doubt Frans is preparing *something* to face Kramnik. He better do that :) Vincent
