I am sad to see that the king engine is not there also. If Rebel can turn up I
think the Chessmaster engine could have been played also.

We would have got some idea on how it competes against the rest, King 3.0 has
had some very impressive results and I am starting to get annoyed that it does
not do something to show and prove its strength. The best way to get a chess
program to sell is to prove it is better than the rest. I just wonder how many
more of Hiarcs were sold simply because it made it to the top of the SSDF.
