Often I have seen CST evaluating at +3, while the other programs thought it was between 0 and -0.XX. In these cases, CST had a great position, one that any human player would pick. For instance, in the game against Fritz 5 that I posted the other day. It might be the right moment to switch to materialist and fast, well before Genius shows a +1. Besides, for doing what you suggest you need Genius and 2 computers. CST should be self sufficient, no? Build up with Tal functions and then drop them? Enrique
