Read my latest review of it in the EN Passant magazine of the Chess Federation of Canada. They have a web site and will be glad to send you a copy of their magazine and they might even give it to you for free. (No promises though).

I gave it a Komputer Korner Gold Medal for its value in features to non tournament players and for it’s engine strength For the non-tournament player, it is a great bargain, no doubt about it. -- Komputer Korner
