Yes, but letting my brothers son use it. He needed a program he could
beat. not joking.

 Do you have Nimzo98 ?

Yes I have it.

 Do you have Fritz5 ?

Yes I Have This to.

Yes I do.

By playing the programs against each other. And like so many others
testers. I have found that CSTal got its ass kicked. But unlike you. I
don't favor one program over another. I call it like I see it.

same here.

again same here. But now I don't waste my time playing such weak
programs vs the top programs. Sorry but true. If CSTal gets stronger I
will test it again.

This is total b.s. You are so bias that you will say anything true or
not. You have shown me this many times.

Its called, letting the programs play the games. Being far to both
programs. Letting the programs play on their strongest setting. Then
without bias letting the programs play. Not caring which one wins or
loses. Then letting other people Know your results.

Again you show that you have not a clue, about what you are saying.
Chess is finite. There for is just one huge tactical tree. Do you think
chess is infinite?

I have many games that I have played. I have been testing computers
since the mid 1980's

It has been you saying that the fast searchers a positional weak,
stupid, dumb.
And how good Chess System Tal is at knowledege.

What does the name of the program have to do with what we are talking
about.
You are correct about Tal. And I would never confuse cst program with
his style of play. If your goal was to be accurate about naming your
program, and you still wanted to use Tal's name. You should have called
the program  No System at Tal.
