PS: Another interesting Idea would be to implement an algorithm that enable programs to check each opening move for at least 10 seconds to see if the program could detect a better choice of move order and replace that weak move with a stronger one. The reason for implementing such loop would be logical in the case that an opening book has an inferior move which was selected long time ago by a weak master or even a strong GM. I have noticed that when you pit two programs of almost equal strength (within 20 points lower or higher) specially in Engines vs Engines match under Fritz GUI. Most programs always win with either Black or White regardless if you switch programs when playing the same opening. Jorge
