Some are really strong, some play very interesting chess. Don’t judge the engines only by engine tournaments. Some are created to play a human or interesting style, some to play against humans. You will find also weaker engines to have a beatable opponent. I don’t like handicap levels of chessprograms. It’s like to play against a GM and say:”simulate a Elo 1600 player” <end snip> I'd like to obtain a "beatable" but amusing opponent for my little nephiew (9 years old), who doesn't play chess very well yet. Yes, there are a few strong engines with personality settings, like Crafty Classic 2004 or ProDeo. I just like to try out some engines that are created to "play against humans", according to Alex Schmidt. Robert
