Come on!(No joking), CSTwhite and CSTblack beeps without control.The
only way to get rid of the beeps is taking out the internal speaker of
the computer :(
Certainly I did it run on a K6 233 Mhz (little bit faster than your K6
200mhz)
but even with that advantage CSTAL didn't win the match

Exactly, they did reply, but they first told me the upgrades were in the
website. I spent 1 week seeking and trying aleatory names to see if it
was a sort of Fritz5 puzzle upgrade (it was a time in which if you know
the name of the file, Fritz5 upgrade will download although it was not
shown on the chessbaseusa webpage). After a week I gave up and then they
told me I was correct. The upgrade was not there and it will NOT (Why?
didn't tell. Only that was some mysterious Chris reasons). So , as I
told before, they said NNOO

The software should be renamed to CHESS THORSTEN TAL. Honouring the only
human being which can make it win a match against every piece of
software (maybe software+hardware WATCHOUT Deeper Blue!!!). A
simultaneous exhibition should be arranged putting Kasparov and Deeper
Blue in one side and CSTal in the other

Is not your fault.But you have to agree that is time consuming.

My games (I will post them here.I have to find them in my backups
because I deleted some programs <CSTAL> from my HD) will not diminish
the quality of your product. But they will show that is not better than
Fritz 5 in counting beans. Fritz 5 has the GREEN GIANT CROWN for
counting beans, and by now, I accept it
