You mean when it scores i.e. 55.0% against an opposition, it would score 60% against the same, with tbs.? No... I guess it would be more like 55.5% or maybe 56%. I would not expect more. Half a point once in a while... I've seen a rook endgame against Nimzo 8, RP vs. RPP and although N8 had access to all 4-piece and the R?-R 5-piece tbs., Pro Deo evaluated better. N8 showed big advantage but the game was a draw, which P.D. knew much earlier. >2) ProDeo seems to move almost too fast.

Also on Blitz games (Except against Rebel :-) it seems to take quite less >time than the opposition. I see no problem for Pro Deo 1.0 in blitz. It has just won a match against Nimzo 8, 3m+2s@1.5 GHz, 16.0 - 8.0 (incl. only one loss on time by N8). I'd say Rebel is back in the Top-10 engines. Regards, M.Scheidl
