When I did read your mesage I indeed agreed on most of your findings Chessmaster settings which preform good in blitz are not good at longer time controls but the longer the time controls or the faster the hardware the settings should be different. This is how ever only related to the King ! Which is rather strange But treu ! I think Johan did not want to change the settings for Leiden to be sure it was the right setting for the hardware and the time controle note it was a 90 minute game not 40moves/40minutes or 40moves/120 minutes I don not think he would not be so lucky with tournament contols using the same settings! Not ment as an attack but based on the way it deals with espacialy Kingsafety A long time is shows I am fine no problem and then evantualy finds out to late it wasn't so fine after all. Increasing the kingsafety improves this a bit. But no mather the settings you use you always will get flaws which are typical of the engine. No mather which engine you use. The words that Johan knows more about the King then any other person (is to say it polite) not very friendly. Because you realy can't counter that without getting a lot of angry faces. If the Author always would be right we still would live in the stone age of computer chess. A lot of ideas where taken over from other authors and users besides the author and they helped to increase the level. To the level we have today . An other note about GUI's Maybe the King would still work best in the Tascbase 2.0 GUI. Wondering if it might be posible to use the new King engines in this GUI. It wil however not work on Windows XP because it is DOS But that is why it would be less bugy he he. Marc
