I have analyzed it's games and indeed is nothing more than a renamed engine. DeepNightmare is Shredder with the Sjeng book in ChessPartner or when using Arena he is using the gm2600+ book. I have all of the above noplayed and censored on my accounts. I have no willingness to play against someone who must lie to gain an advantage. In fact I recently switched engines (with the permission of computers(*)) from Shredder to Ruffian. There were so many Shredder clones there it was tough not to play the same program (which I find useless). >The only rule that FICS has is that to play in >the computer tourneys you must use the engine you are registered with. This will be changing. Soon the engine you were granted a computer account for will be the only program allowed. Abuse against this will result in the account being locked. Peter
