Postmodernist, Monsoon, QueenMaxima, there are tons. And there is probably _nothing_ more disrespectful than a !computer account machining another computer. >Whats the point in playing my version of Tiger 14 on my AMD 1200 against someone >using say Deep Junior on 2.6 ghz?. What's to be gained from that for either of >the operators. Well, maybe nothing. But what happens if all you have is a 2.6Ghz computer and a copy of DJ? What if you don't want to have 15 engines, you just want to use one? Not everyone has 2 computers, and *ALL* the Chessbase engines! >I am interested however in seeing ideas from strong humans, in particular in the >opening. This for me serves two purposes.
