Fritz is still leading the tournament. Tiger won only one position. Tiger is also a chessbase engine The king is the only engine in the tournament that is not sold by chessbase. > >Also i was a bit sick that he used positions which still were >completely INSIDE the book. I see no problem with it.

I do not understand what do you have against nunn. It is clear that we cannot say which engine is better based on 10 positions and it is not nunn's fault. It is possible to optimize engines for every known position so if people want to test engines without opening book in order to see which engine is better in analyzing they should always change the positions(it is possible to test engines in the positions after 15 moves of smirin in the next 8 games of smirin against the machines and for the next year it is possible to use different games in order to prevent preperation) Uri
