Come on Thorsten. Lets get real here. Chess System Tal is a good program. But its light years away for the strenght of Nimzo98, Junior 4.6, or Fritz 5. You only call other people bean counters, because that is the only way you have to defend Chess system Tal's poor showing. Chess System Tal is getting killed by the dumb fast searches. If you want to judge programs on how pretty you think they play. Fine. They rest of us will bean count. You know why, because that how you tell if someone or some thing is better at chess. Thats the way it has always been done. After Alekhine beat Capablanca. I wounder if Capablanca took comfort in the fact that some people thought he played Pretty, and more positional looking moves. The point is you can try to make a program play very positional looking moves. But if its not sound tacticlly, its not worth much. Remember even the positionally minded Humans say that chess is 90% tactics. I tend to think the real nature of chess is 100% tactics.
