Thanks for the match info.  Its nice to see how some of the top contenders play
under unusual conditions.  So it looks like if I want to stand a chance against
my PC chess opponents I should drop the books, tb and pondering.  :)

Its interesting to see how strong List5.04 is.  A very impressive new
challenger.  Have you tried Deep Sjeng?  Another program that has caught my
interest.

Why was Rebel 12 dropped?  I have Rebel Century 4 and find it plays with a
challenging style. Rebel 12 is on my shopping list.  From what I have read it is
stronger than Century, plus I can run it in the ChessPartner Windows interface
which is a plus.

You know what would be interesting is to find a human volunteer that plays a
strong game of chess and have them play some informal tourneys against the top
PC opponents.  It would make for a very interesting set of games I think,
especially if commentary was supplied.  Play human vs PC w/no book, tb, no pond,
and also a round with book/tb/pond on.  That would be cool.

Thanks again for sharing your results with us, Matt
