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. MvH Dan Andersson
