SlowChess is being played by Deuteronomy No It is not a bad program but it is one of many strong programs. Pepito is probably slightly stronger than slowchess. See http://wbec-ridderkerk.nl/html/his6thedition.html Pepito scored 34/68 in the first division when slowchess scored 36/68 in the second division. Of course in a single game everything can happen and the gap between the programs is small. If you have better hardware than your opponents than it may explain better results. Maybe slowchess also like your hardware more than other programs. I guess that if it is 64 bit program it likes more Athlon 64 FX but I do not know if it is the case. Uri
