Dear Ludicrous, He asked for a human-like engine. While your selections are probably fun engines, they are far from human-like, from what I've read. For me, the clear choice is Rebel 12. If I didn't know better, I'd swear I was watching a human play. I can recommend it highly. It's not tactically gifted, like Shredder 7.04 or Junior, but it plays logical and "thoughtful" chess with evidence of positional comprehension. As such, it selects the moves that a human would, rather than searching for a short-term tactical solution to every problem. All the best, Stephen >My Picks > >1) Chess System Tal 2 - Very very interesting to play against, really. Top >notch entertainer in my opinion.
