I agree about the good chess. Sometimes, however, it "chooses
not to castle", i.e. instead of Nf6, 0-0 it plays Kf8, but I
am sure Severi has figured this out himself.

I think there might be a bug somewhere, sometimes it doesn't move.
The CPU-usage goes from 100% to nothing so it obviously did some thinking
but no move...

But it plays very well. My ordinary anti-computer strategy, which works
well againt Crafty and Hiarcs, failed. I had to resort to crude
king side assaults to get a win :)
