I was browsing the website for the North American Computer Chess Association - http://homepage.mac.com/chessnotation/events.html .. where I came across an event to be held in November 2004 - Annual Beat Europe Computer Chess Competition . It started me thinking if there were even any quality American chess programs to match European chess programs, apart from Crafty. I was surprised to find quite a few: 1 : USA ( 37 ) Alex, Amateur, Arasan, Bace, Beaches, Betsy, BigBook, Chad's Chess, ChessRikus, Crafty, DChess, DeepTrouble, Dorky, DrunkenMaster, EXchess, Fimbulwinter, Gerbil, GnuChess 4, GnuChess 5, Horizon, Jester, Kace, LTK, NoonianChess, Parrot, Plywood, Pooky, Puslar, ROBOKewlper, Simontacchi, SlowChess, SSEChess, Storm, Tristram, TSCP, Usurper, Zotron. .... you could browse those from other countries at this site - http://vigo.altervista.org/Team_WOCT-2.htm#USA This should be quite interesting then, if the event were to go ahead on November 4. I think the Europeans will hold upper hand, with Ruffian, Deep Sjeng, Delfi, Gromit, Comet etc. They seem to be quite ahead of their American counterparts. Cheers, Rick
