Chandler are you trolling again ??? :) "You don't need hashtables, 1 Mb is enough. This speeds up the search" ??? "You don't need opening books, just make your own from a big database, the bigger the better" ??? "You don't need EGTBs, Fruit does not use EGTBS (this is no longer true for latest commercial Fruit but you are very right that it brings not much elo)" "You don't need centipawn evaluation" Well, no.. On CTF: "You don't need programmers, they are part of the problem" This is undoubtedly true, they should be abolished! And you also do not really need a computer or computerprogram to play chess. Board and pieces is more than enough. If you want you can add a chessclock. An real opponent is also nice, so GoTo a chessclub. Always clear your hashtables and consider every legal move, you can't go wrong! Silly regards, Eelco
