 One option is the new Gandalf version. It seems like Lokasoft just released it
for general consumption on their on-line shop. The CD will ship the 29th it
seems.
 My perception of the last few iterations of the new engine is that it is a more
mature engine. It's more tactically aware than previous releases.
 It still blows some won positions. But so does every engine. It's still an
active engine that will shed pawns for initiative. But now it's defence is
better when under pressure. Still active, but more accurate. And the endgame has
been improved a lot compared to for example Gandalf 5/5.1.
 I really haven't a clue how well it will do on SSDF. But I wouldn't be
surprised if shows a marked increase. It certainly does some damage when run on
my ~1GHz PIII.
