Actually I view the few posted games as an attempt by the author to advertise his new program. Trying to imply that Smarthink is on par with Rybka by publishing a few games is not very convincing. If it were more games by an independent tester/beta tester then it would carry more weight. Personally I like the early version of Smarthink and hope that the new commercial version will be on par with Rybka and other top engines. These few games posted by the author will not convince me to buy it. Jim
