>Hi Ed, > >is it still a secret or can you tell us with whom you will cooperate in doing >so? Sounds like an interesting project... It's no secret. The programmer in question is Christophe (Chess Tiger). I am currently testing his latest (auto232 compatible) version on 3 autoplayer pairs. Sofar my conclusion is that Chess Tiger already is able to compete with the current top this without the ideas we are currently exchanging as implementation (and testing) takes a lot of time of course. We have a lot of plans, one of them is to automatically change engines when the position demands it. Or to have a multi-processor system having the Rebel and Chess Tiger engines running and a piece of software that decides which move to pick (Rebel or Chess Tiger). Kind of 3-HIRN system but then automatic. Making plans is of course nice, to realize them is another thing but we certainly will try. - Ed - >Regards >from Dirk > > >>> Imperialism mainly existed because when country's gained new territories and >>>lands, what they were actually gaining is "Future Markets".
