As it is also a deep searcher it might just outsearch Chess System Tal like mad. - the games were played with >Arena Auto232 connected to CS Tal II on the same machine with ponder on (it was >my Dual MP1800+), timecontrol was 40 in 20 minutes.

Anyway, CSTal got 3 draws and one win, so it can still bite. >Also for CST it might be good to play even longer time controls, so don't give >to much on those games, it was just a test match... I don't think that CSTal earns _that_ much from slower time controls. Btw, when it was released a PII300 was still state-of-the-art hardware, kind of. In 1999 CSTal did reasonably well on then current hardware against the then current Crafty setup on ICC btw, in slower blitz games. The 1999 Quark was a different beast too. Just IMHO and so :) Peter
