Although I  am registered use Chess Genius 3, my disk has gone bad a long time
ago.  I believe Chess Genius 3 will still do reasonanbly well against many of
the top programs today on equal hardware at fast time controls.  Whenver they
(whoever they is?) decide to  start a chess programmers "Hall of Fame" , there
is no doubt that Richard Lang will be a select member.
