I agree with you, but since my aim was to find a strong enough program to play
with. My work does not allows me to go around and play tournaments and to make
openings books is like a work now...I mean is keeping me busy a lot.

The way I like to play is to understand the opponent plan as well as the
opportunities to both players. Playing that way you can see how weak are most of
the computer chess programs and PCs programs.

It is also most enjoable...
