The engine strength does increase very gradually throughout the adventure, but, to the best of my memory, the only challenges in which it plays at top strength are the ones in which you have a clear winning position. All of the others play at SIGNIFICANTLY reduced strength. I can't remember how weak specifically, though.... >where i was zipping along at break neck speed in the previous chapters suddenly >i am asked to defeat the engine in a starting position in which the engine has >only a slightly inferior pawn structure. This is one of those cases where the engine will play poorly, but not TOO poorly because you're now in the second half of the adventure and are expected to play better chess. Still, I don't think the engine is playing much above Class C here. But, honestly, I can't recall. I'll know as soon as I get the raw scenario files from one of the other developers (if they still have them). >as if this was not enough i notice the engine is beginning to play better and >better ..whereas in the previous chapters in would move instantly now it is >pondering its move for a few seconds and there are no longer any "free" queen >giveaways > >this is quite insidious but great fun > >are you absolutely sure you can score AT LEAST 100??####!!!! > >Please Dont Answer That i prefer to believe it was a typo on your part Regards >Steve Ok, I won't....
