DHM I've played games against S9 with anti-chess. For testing purposes, I let s9 play itself in closed positions. Sometimes, but not always the anti-chess style will win. This happens especially when it tries to exchange a pawn to avoid the 50-move-rule draw. I've also noticed how much S9's learn works wonders to learn the lines and to void or try new ones. Good Job Pablo, Joshua Haglund toneewa@yahoo.com
