Thanks! > >--Peter Peter, 1) No. 2) No. 3) Nimzo2000 also will be available briefing. I tried Crafty and TCB and they run fine. 4) Yes. I am in doubt regarding the maximum of hashtable that Genius 6 can support. See message 45789 of Barry Culp(march,15). The program is not very different of Genius 5, and I have confirmmed this because my friend has Genius 5. In summary, it's a Genius 5(engine), with a new and better book, whit a new interface (Millennium System), whit some advantages: 32 bits interface. Large Hashtables(about 120 Mb). ????? Analysing with several engines. Automatic play of two engines. Automatic game analysis with several engines. Strongly improved database interface. Position tree. Best regards, Paulo Soares, from Brazil.
