Christian,

Thanks for the info on the CSS-Online-Masters .... I look forward to such a
strong tournament, as do all of us here, I'm sure.  The latest strong engines on
some of the fastest hardward, with a good tournament format .... what's not to
like?

Now a question please ... I've heard that Gandalf 6 is much stronger than 5, and
will be released for sale "soon."  Well, you know how "soon" often goes.  Does
anyone have any idea when we can expect Gandalf 6 to be available?

I enjoy having Fritz, Hiarcs, Tiger, Deep Sjeng, etc, but I also want Gandalf to
play against.  I play some "A" and "Expert" players and many of them have a
sharp, aggressive style which Gandalf is supposed to have.  I like programs that
try to "take off your head" from the beginning, launching attacks against my
monarch.  Any other programs I should consider?  I already have Fritz 8, Hiarcs
9, Tiger 15, Deep Sjeng 1.5, CM9000, and many strong WB/UCI engines (Ruffian,
List, Crafty, Yace, etc, etc).  Which are commonly considered the most
aggressive, ready-to-sac-and-attack engines?  Thanks.
