Several weeks ago I received a free copy of Deep Sjeng for evaluation. The company that sent me Deep Sjeng was hoping I'd like it and write a postive review of the product that they could post on their web site. My current "desktop computer program" is ChessMaster 6000. I was looking forward to trying out Deep Sjeng as ChessMaster 6000 does not run in the newer 32 bit only OS environments (Windows 2000, XP, and beyond). Now, Deep Sjeng has a very fast and powerful engine. I'll give it that. But in all other areas, I think it sucks big time. Currently I'm running version 1.5 but I'll be damned if I can find any documentation on what the engine parameters mean. Also, the help files used to work. Now they don't even though the help files that are supposedly missing are in their proper and original locations. ChessMaster 6000 has gobs of tutorials, puzzles, annotated games, verbal analyses, etc. You won't find any of that with Deep Sjeng. In terms of a user-friendly interface, features, and everything else, I'd pick my old ChessMaster 6000 any day of the week over Deep Sjeng. (Anybody out their disagree with me? Let me know why!)
