Hi Gerd (?),

I completely agree with you that CSTalblack is an interesting program which is
worth more testing. And I find it great that you are able to test it on fast
hardware, which may help it show its very interesting potential.

Even though on my two 200MMX machines the programs did not quite reach the
playing strength of other top programs, I don't bother at all about this,
because I am often fascinated by the content of the games and CSTals playing
style.

What I do not find that great are some comments from Mr. Whittington or Thorsten
Czub on rgcc (and former here from Thorsten) claiming that they don't see any
reason to publish new versions to us lower mortals, while at the same time they
seem to see a lot of reasons to publish great wins of the new version wherever
they see a chance. :-)

My point of view is: either compete and publish or play at home for your fun and
let go.

But I hope you will post more games and am sure they will be very interesting
for a lot of people here. The first game was a nice CSTal win against Junior in
a very sharp Sicilian and perhaps shows, how strong CSTal may play on fast
hardware. Only more games can tell something about the overall performance.

So thanks for posting the games.

Regards
from Dirk
