Never mind fast programs - I see that both Chess Tiger 14.9 for PalmOS always plays, in this variation of the English, 1. c4 e5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. Bg2 d5 although it's out of book (!) after 3. Bg2; Chess Genius 1.4 for PalmOS has 3. ... Bb4 in book, and I've noticed before that this is a pleasing line to play against. >Shredder 6.02 scores quite well against the other top programs. Yet it seemed >to play well below GM level here. How can both of these things be true? Because the programs are not human so don't know who or what they're playing; Shredder faced methods which, at the moment, no program would or could use. Alastair
