It's called "Tournament Chess - XP Compatible Version (Jewel Case)." It says it's CSTal II. I got it for about $10 including S&H. I realize that CSTal can't compete with my other engines (like everyone here, I have to have all the best ones), but I don't want it to play those engines ... I want to play against it me! If this engine is as crazy, attacking, tactical and wild as the real Misha, then I will really enjoy it. Mark Anderson
