Hi Alan,

yes, as our extremely well informed Steve already mentioned, this is an improved
version of the D module. That one had very good positional understanding,
however was playing awfully boring chess. A very different approach have the D+
and D++: more interesting and aggressive. Alas the latter needs longer time
controls due to the larger implemented knowledge (not so good in blitz but
already stronger than ie the Academy at 30s/move). I own the 10 MHz version and
would assess its strenght at about 2000 SSDF Elo. If you're interested I could
post two active games (if I find them). ;)

Kaplan Regards,
Martin
