Since the Opening Book of Zappa 1.1 According to Anthony is bad here is his statement: "It should be noted that the book supplied here is based totally on GM games with no human tuning and therefore quite bad." I am Using the Mainbook of Harry Schnapp for both programs to make it uniform, and to avoid giving the advantage to one program or the other. My Impression is that both of these programs are very close in strength and only with 1000 games minimum we will find out the truth. I have done long time control with Spike versus Shredder Classic 1.3 and they also came very close at the end of their match of 30 games. Spike 1.0 Mainz did NOT had a lucky match when it won the Chess960 World Chess Championship at Mainz. It has improved tremendously since the previous version. PS: Not too many programs can beat Spike1.0 Mainz at a match of 30 or 40 games at whatever time control you chose. First I was wrong when I thought that Spike was simply very lucky to win the Chess960 WCCC at Mainz, but the free released of Spike simply proved me wrong. Jorge
