BTW it also uses the plain Crafty book implementation... The author first used mainly TSCP code, after some complaints and recognizing the code as *crappy* by himself(!) he just replaced it by Faile code... *quote from WB forum:* 'I have removed the TSCP code from my engine and replaced it with code from Faile (which, I checked, is MIT licensed so I can use the code). I have released a new version with no TSCP code'. I know of no serious tester, who uses it in tournaments. BTW have you ever looked at the *Hall of shame* at the TSCP site? http://home.comcast.net/~tckerrigan/ Guenther
