New stronger chess programs is making computer chess most interesting, >Be nice if you would test some of these new programs and post them :) Hello Gerold! Thanks for your answer. I just started a new Testseries which in time will result in a Ratinglist of app. 25 Engines. My way of testing is similar to that of Klaus Wlotzka from CSS with one important difference; Klaus is testing on 10+10 time, I do 5+5. I will publish my results here in this Forum and the first results should appear in a couple of days. Best wishes Per
