No doubt the main concern of those on this forum when a new version of an engine comes out is how it will do against the other engines out there. Which brings up an interesting question i dont have the knowledge to even make a guess at. I know this guy who is a tech rep at chessbase. He told me he consulted with the programmers of Fritz 9, and they told him this version was designed specifically to beat human grandmasters. They did not say, but i got the impression they were not interested one way or the other about how it did against other engines. Is it possible to create or program the engine in such a way that by being so much better ag. humans that it might suffer ag. other engines, or does the increase in strength ag. humans and the increase in strength ag. other chess engines generally go hand in hand. Its just that my main concern is how it will do ag. other engines, and i was left with the impression they didnt care. Will appreciate any thoughts- you guys know a lot more about this stuff than I. Regards, George
