i remember that Wchess had some weaknesses in endgame.
therefore i would like to know how the endgame is or if dave kittinger made
some progress in this area too (maybe with the help of tablebases or more
knowledge or whatever :-)).

tactics and taking the initiative was wchess' strength.
but positional play was a weakness.

i wonder if this has changes :-))

i know i am penetrant with my questions.

but the last wchess-thing i bought was powerchess, or wchess for MCS.

don't remember exactly what came earlier. but i always wanted to have a
"latest kittinger" because i still remember the good old super-constellation
times.
