Subject: Pitiful results by theking.exe

I did a little experiment to see how easy it would be for chess programs to find
mate with 2 bishops and a king vs king (all in starting positions).  All the
engines I tried could find mate (playing both white and black) with 1 minute per
side and tablebases and pondering off.

Chessmaster was the only exception.  Chessmaster could find mate in its gui( a
little slowly) but not in arena or winboard!!!
