Mike,

To me, engine strength is so strong now that it doesn't really matter to me if
Deep Sjeng can think a little deeper or faster than CM9000.

I look for what programs are usable.  Deep Sjeng, in my humble opinion, is
written for chess geeks only.  Fine.  I won't review it.   But Lokasoft would do
well if they enhanced the program for a wider market.

My two cents.

Chris
