As a little sidenote I did run a test with Danny Kopec's startposition on
ICC/ChessFM (free lecture) between Shredder Classic and ProDeo (the above
setting) and with ProDeo as white it manage to lose the game, probable pressing
too hard (very human! I did the same last weekend in an opposite bishop ending).
The game with opposite color was drawn.

Kopec's startposition is:
[D]1r4k1/ppR2ppp/4p3/3p4/3P4/4P3/PP3PPP/6K1 w - - 0 1
Is there any engine that manage to take this to a win as White.
My setup was PIII/850MHz with ponder off. hash 24/32Mb and timecontrol 5'+10.
