So what is your point. >The Engine is not the same in 5000, 5500, and CM6000 is still a newer version >engine than the others. Very easy: You are a programmer and you work 1 year and you have changed many details and so you change your chess program Slaughterchess version 1 in version 2. Okay. Or you say my changes are so tremendous I call that version Slaughterchess Diamond 50 Carat now! Okay, no objections if you made a jewel out of your program. Or you make some little changes and you can still say this is my new program. The old version was version 1, but now we have the year 2000 at hand so the new version is called Slaughterchess Millennium 2000 (there are no parallels with real life intended here!) I would have some objections here! And well there are also some honest and humble people in this world. They make a little change, their previous version was 1 and now they call it 1.1, or when the change was smaller they call it 1.01! This sounds reasonable and honest to me! Johan de Koning is honest! And now read his version numbers. Not 5000 or 6000, this is Mindscape algebra! Read his engine version numbers, that's what we are talking about! And in these numbers you can read which improvements he thought he made! Nice weekend, Bert
