Hi Steve..

Yes, I know what you mean...:-)

I had the same problems with Mephisto Polgar and Mondial...etc.

They play a strong game of chess, but on certain individual moves,
they often do not perform well...

They are still great chess computers, of course!

However, I admire your great zeal and "dedication for the dedicated line"..etc.

Rob
