You can read yet another review of this program on my web page
(http://members.aol.com/rjpawlak/ch_widow.html). This program is nothing like
the informant publication of similar name.

As far as I can tell, the examples were prepared by the Chess Assistant staff
(they have their own authors just concerned with chessic and not programming
matters).

That's what the ELO grading says. I am no expert on this, but my USCF rating is
about 1600, and I like it.
