I've just seen your agreement about Arasan. I'm thinking that even though it's
not the strongest program regarding ssdf list etc. it might be the one which is
best to practice against.

But, since I haven't seen many others of the free programs, (nor many of the
comercial ones either), if you have, could you tell me if you think it is better
than all others, in certain aspects, or is Crafty, or Ruffian, or some others
better, even in what I'm speaking about?

REALLY, I can't get over it! Every game it comes up with great tricks! (and the
fact that I'm stopped from doing what I want to do, with great tricks it makes
me feel that I "wanted" to do the right thing) Hiarcs  (7...etc.) doesn't do it,
even if it gets higher results overall, but it doesn't make you feel it!

Anyway, Arasan is probably stronger in results than all the old famous expensive
Mephisto (and other) dedicated computers.]

I hope I didn't offend Jon Dart! (and if he is English, it is very
characteristic of English people to underplay their successes, or potentials!)
