Also the older version 2.62 is very very strong with longer time controls and one of the best available amateur engines, speaking from version 2.62. Pharaon need time. A great result again for Pharaon. The problems are only the games (for me). I like more the engine which play tactical chess. But the strategy of Pharaon is interesting, more or less in much cases I am thinking a born and bred GM is playing. With other words, I missed tactic attacks in Pharaon. Could you look in your database in the Pharaon games, perhaps you can give me the shortest games, or perhaps you can send me the database for my collection. Thanks! Best Frank
