I have played many games against other winboard programs such as Gaviota,
Bestia, faile, Movei, and even against Novag Turqouise; but against Sjeng so far
only three and the first one I did NOT included since I was using 12 MB default
for my Celeron 433 Mhz and my Celeron only had 32 MB of memory up until
yesterday when I decided to upgrade it to 128 MB.
I really don't have much time to test CTP 14.9 since like most of us I do have a
job. And to answer your silly question, I don't select games, as a matter of
fact I was as dubious as you are now, and before I had Chess Tiger for Palm I
also was a disbeliever to even consider CTP to be close to being of an expert
strength. The only reason why I continue to test CTP 14.9 is probably because I
resemble you in a way, I'm still NOT too conviced that such a little Gizmo can
accomplish so much against programs that are considered close to 2400 in
strength, but the more I test this Little Beast, the more I have to accept the
fact that it is amazinly strong.
