MChessPro (US-Program) won the Title with many Knowledge and dynamic-power, and with not pruning/big nps, but only tuned for slow CPUs. 10 Years later now today, we have Zappa, again a US-Program! Zappa plays like MChess-Style, not pruning/big nps, but stronger than MChess! I am also for sure, taht the new release of Zappa (commercial or not) will be a nice program for us all! Thanks Anthony.
