I know semifinal, quarterfinal and >final, but what is 3/4 final? This should be called the 1/2 final but for some reason this is called 3/4 final (maybe to give more respect to the players in this stage). I did not invent the name 3/4 final. > >>I did not do it in all the games of the 1/2 final because I did not let it play >>in the right way in the 1/2 final and I did not play with the right program. > >Which alternative would you choose/have chosen? I gave the computer some hours to analyze in all the cases but in some cases when I did some analysis and did not like the moves I changed them because I was afraid not to be in the 3/4 final. After the games when I see the mistakes of the opponents I think that I was afraid too much. I am going to use only one program in the 3/4 final and I am going to believe more in the opening theory of the program. > >>I hope there will be a significant improvement in Junior5 before 1.7.99 >>otherwise I think that chessmaster6000 is a better candidate to play. >>Uri > >Personally I would choose between MCP7/8, Hiarcs6/7 and CM6k.

I expect to see more programs before 1.7.99 I think that CM6000 is the best now but maybe Rebel10/tiger system or Junior6 if they will be before 1.7.99 will be better I have time to decide about it Uri
