Subject: Att. Uri Blass Re.: chess engines for CC

Uri,

After having tried different chess engines I've come to the conclusion that F8
or DF8 will still be stronger than Zappa, Fruit or Shredder, especially on
Pentium machines. For all I know, it's much more comfortable to analyze CC games
with them. First I felt like bying Zappa 2.0 or Fruit WCCC, but now I'd rather
soon released Fritz 9. As I used to note earlier, the WCCC results never counted
much to CC players, at least to me.
Concerning your allegation about the chess draw death, I would not be that
assured in that respect. The human factor is still very strong in CC. the chess
programmes are good but one has to use his guts too. ;)I would recommend you to
read or reread (if you have one) ex-ICCF world champion Grigory Sanakoev's
excellent book titled 'The Third Attempt'. Humans will always be stronger in CC
and the recent match between GM Nickel and Hydra is another proof of it.
Gens una sumus!
Best regards,
Alex
