I'm curious about the rating difference between the two. Also, I'm concerned about installing the 16-bit version after the 32-bit version. Just wondering if any common files will be overlaid with older versions. Any thoughts about that? By the way, I very much enjoyed following your recent tournament. Ever think about holding a blitz tournament? It would be interesting to see how the top programs perform against each other at 5 seconds per move. The quality of the games would be particularly enlightening. I suspect that Genius 6 would do better at fast time controls than 40/40. I'm probably one of the few people here who actually enjoy playing Genius 5. On a PII 450 it plays an interesting and strong game at 10 seconds per move. I do not find it's style as passive as you do. Len
