Yace that is not the best amateur scored better and commercial programs did not compete but of course one tournament proves nothing. Ferret had better results in 2001 when it won a tournament with the same number of points as deep fritz and a worse tournament in 2002 when it finished only at place 16 in the table. http://www.vrichey.de/cct3/cct3gamestab.htm http://www.vrichey.de/cct4/index_table.html Uri
