Go up one level in this thread


Yes! - Frustrating, isn't it?  I have asked for other experts opinions and
knowledge about this program a number of times here on this board.  More often
than not, answer's are generated more about other stuff, than what I have asked.
 Recently I found myself being criticized for pasting from Gambit-Soft just the
information that the Windoz version had just become available along with the
fact that they were the ones selling it.  I forgot that ICD and Gambit-Soft were
competitor's. (even if friendly ones).   As a consumer, I think both are great
and endorse them very highly.

Anyway, I have waited for the Windoz version of this program to become available
for a number of years (I don't like DOS very much).  So now that I've ordered
it, when it arrives I will strive to do a review for the compouter chess reports
on it.  I'm not a profesional chess programmer/chess software reviewer however,
(Like Komputer Korner, who we are unlucky to have around just now), so I won't
report on the strength of the engine, and specific computer related
configuration items about the program.  I'll only give the perspective of a
chess player's (& chess software junkie's), feel for the program, and whether it
winds up back in the box or a mainstay on the Hard Disk.
