I believe that the current sutuation is quite ideal : Suddenly , you have a panel of very strong engines , some free , others commercial , and of which strength may be usefully compared : Rybka ,Gambit Fruit , TogaII , Fruit , Shredder , Frutz , Junior , Hiarcs and I forget some : it recalls , for human chess , this era , just before the war , when , e-g in the AVRO tournament , you could oppose champions of the past as Capablanca or Alekhine to champions of the future as Botvinnik or Keres But it's not sufficient to collect raw results , as it learns nothing to us about strength and weaknesses of each engine : it's necessary not to be content with making them play on a battery of computers , but LOOK at them while the play , what is the effect of the choice of oenig books , and WHY some engine "likes" an opening and dislikes another In these columns , I could read Topics about a good ( or a bad ) move of an engine , but very seldom about the comparison of their styles , because we had not enough strong engines of quite different styles Now we can , so let's work in this way , for the good of Chess and Computers!
