That was not quite what I meant to say. Even if none of the programs are tuned for playing FRC, it is perfectly possible that one of the programs has an evaluation function which accidentally works better for FRC, and this could be totally unrelated to the relative positional capabilities of the engines. >I'm not concluding that HIARCS has a bad >opening book simply because it plays good with these 15 positions, but because I >have seen in several of my matches and other people who post games of HIARCS >that HIARCS Openings was NOT tuned for HIARCS. And strongly believe that HIARCS >could gain another 15 or 20 points if it had a better opening book. You could be right, but I haven't seen enough data to make such conclusions yet. This is beside the point, but I have always wondered why anyone would care about a 15 or 20 point improvement ... Tord
