Howdy, I disagree with you to a degree. To those hundreds (thousands ?) who
purchase a Computer Chess program looking for a improvement against other
programs  will be dissapointed, reports have been posted here already reporting
no improvement, making same move as it's predessor etc.
SSDF Elo points to these players are not at issue. Can I now beat this dude on
yahoo advanced Chess site who beats me more than I do him is what he is gonna
test.

Better graphics etc is not enough for a new release, IMHO.

Thanks

Wayne

PS I think that the many testers who post here tournament results against other
programs are not to thrilled either to test another new release that plays no
better.
