Hello,

>Seems not very strong.
>Why the author only test it with old engines?

The goal of testing is to measure strength growth. It's neccessary to use the
same engines set to test new versions. We have 4 different engine sets to test
SmarThink's strength. We're playing about 2500-5000 games for every engine
version to measure engine strength. If you're interested, I can send you whole
testing stuff. It includes new engines also. But sometimes it's not easy to use
them, for example, because of Fritz9 and Rybka can't play 10 sec/game mode.

>I wonder Smarthink may be crushed by rybka, fritz9 or fruit.

So, it's good that SmarThink will be good surprize for you ;)
