I disagree about the following: 1)I disagree that Tom is very experienced at chess programming and I believe that most of the top amateur programs have more experience than Tom. 2)I do not think that the words very strong program are right for his stobor that is clearly better than tscp. Tom admitted that stobor is weaker than the top amateurs. I know that Stobor competed in the WMCCC in paris 1997 but it was not one of the best programs in that tournament. Uri
