The use of "blunder check" software seems especially common, although that is to find tactical errors. It seems an open question as to whether or not current chess engines have the necessary "credentials" to rule on "positional" positions. The jury seems "out" on that one, or at least that's my perception. On the other hand, I would expect that a strong chess engine to be a powerful tool in the hands of a strong chessmaster or GM. : ) Bob D. > >-- >GCP
