I am told that there are some, but minor. Being 16 bit in a 32 bit environment, I expect G6 to be a bit slower than G5, but not all that much. As for entering Genius 6 in this tournament, I think it's very interesting. Genius is very accurate and once it bites it won't let go. That's exactly what I see now in its match against Junior 5. G6 wins 2-1 and it's +3 in the 4th game, so a likely +2 =2 -0. In these games, Genius 6 is playing very actively, something really unusual in older versions. Enrique
