Man it's one mean engine! I honestly feel this engine plays more like a human master than anything I've ever seen, and that is very important to experienced players, who need that "human" feel from a game. IMO in the middlegame, Rybka passes the Turing Test, and will in the future buy this engine, as it has broken new ground, were in another revolution in computer chess. No serious chess player should be without it. Terry
