Regards, George I concure, that it is to early to tell the future of this or any other engine with such few games at standard time controls. I also agree that you will most likely be flamed for talking about their new God! example people: In the last week or so I have beaten over six expert players out of 7 in standard games on ICC to give a performance of around 2365 so am I FM strength or just having a good week? I think just a good week, but to few games to tell anything anyway! Why get so happy w/ less then 100 games played at longer time controls?? It means nothing. Just my 2 cents.
