Hi Steve, For just my 5 cents, I'd say that Fruit deserves to be tested more than Toga if it was just between these two. Fruit is the original, Toga its derivative program. They play a bit differently but they are both strong. DeepSjeng might also play well, GianCarlo has shown some good testresults for individual positions with a new DeepSjeng here and he played a good WCCC. It is one of still few programs that can run on more than one processor but it is also strong on just one. It all comes comes down then I think to which program is best suited to the Resurrection hardware, much more than what program might play well against Johan's program on a modern PC. Hard to say anything about that without testing it Steve! For instance I read in a report on the Leiden tournaments, a Resurrection owner wrote somewhere on Ries van Leeuwen's pages that for Ruffian in Resurrection the amount of RAM available certainly helps. Another case, I would never have thought beforehand that HIARCS could so well on the StrongARM in the Palm PDA-computers. You think, when Hiarcs is a program that has an expensive evaluation function, can it get deep enough then on a Palm? I don't have Hiarcs for the StrongARM PDA but it is reported to be strong! Marc Uniacke made some effort there to adapt his program to the hardware and that paid off. Because this is all totally unknown territory, any testgames or experiences with one of these three programs that you would care to share would be valuable Steve! Exploratory Regards, Eelco
