To come closer to the top. (And that is no rubbish when it comes from me just read some of my first postings.) But it style and evaluation will be looking more then the other top programs then. A switch, which is not used by the setting, I have seen so far Maybe I bring them to an idea! Though my attacks I have considered Chessmaster always as a good benchmark for the other top programs. In the past have given proof on some bad game of the SSDF In which I claimed they used the wrong version Interesting was that it was a game of Fritz5.32 But I believe the SSDF these days is more trustfully then in the past. I believe the reason why Chessmaster is not on the SSDF list is the choice of Johan not the SSDF maybe they can give an answer on that. I think it is not ok to test a program of which the author has not given permission to do so. An other obstacle might be the circumstances in which Johan wants to test it With the book Remise.ctg under the Chessbase gui And both are not originally delivered with the program . Marc
