But I bet he likes winning games. A hybrid of CSTAL and a fast searcher
might be a nice way to eat your cake and have it, no? When CST reaches
+2 or +3 without material advantage it might be a good moment to stop
speculating and start counting all these humble beans Chris likes so
much? :)

A Windows CST plus extra database features would be truly unique. Well,
the current CST is rather unique already. But DOS is a pain and database
features in CST are quite lacking.

Hmmm... How about Chris saying it directly? This indirect way of posting
is a bit cumbersome, and after all red cards should not last forever...
