I agree and I plan to buy it in any case. I only asked Fabien some questions. I remember that Fabien admitted that Fruit has search bugs and he mentioned that it does not solve fast Fine70 because of one of the bugs. I guess that by fabien's standards the fact that he still did not add some feature is a bug. I have seen Shredder prune out >a Rook for Pawn sac that caused it to miss its move to prevent checkmate. Even >though Fruit, Crafty, and Scorpio all saw the move right away I do not consider >Shredder to have a buggy search. No chess program does every move right. I agree that other functions also do not do everything right. Uri
