I have a little question Ed! Not the right thread but important for me. Since over one year I come back to my first years of computer chess. I try to reproduce my collection of favorite chess computers and played a lot games in my free time this year. I like the Mephisto chassi of Mephisto Milano, Berlin, Modena, Atlanta and have here all six types. My favorite is Mephisto Milano (like the playing style and the display information). The question I have: You created at last the following programs: Mephisto MMV (very tactical) Mephisto Milano (combination tactic and positional playing style) Mephisto Polgar (positional playing style) After all my tests for many years and in this times :-) I believe the best one is the Mephisto Milano but not in the SSDF. This my opinion about it and it would nice to know what you are thinking about it. I believe the way you go with the program style in Mephisto Milano is the way you search for your first "PC" chess programs. Your experiments with GM human games in the following years are a second good example. Do you think that the Mephisto Milano is the strongest of this three chess computers? Is this right that you try to find out the combination of positional and tactic playing style in your first PC chess program up to today in Rebel / ProDeo? With time we can see that the combinated engines are stronger with the tactical only engines. The hardware is faster and in the first years of computer chess the tactical programs have an advantage. So it's a little bit a sensation that the Milano and not the MMV is stronger chess computer (in my opinion). Your answer will be great for a lot of chess computer fans I know becuase this question is a long time questions if we played our tournaments. Have this discuss with my chess friend each time we play our tourneys. Perhaps you find the time for an answer. Today we have the discuss that Rebel can be stronger with "only" more tactic (opinion from my chess friend, not my). Best Frank
