Thanks Vas,

 I was wondering about that. I read a post by Mig Greengard where he said  that
most strong players use engines to check tactics only. I am not a strong player
but I think I could learn alot more if I wasn't engine dependant for positional
evaluations. In that case I would just use the the best and fastest tactical
engine. I'm waiting to buy Rybka when the full release is out. Will I still get
Rybka Winfinder?
Regards
Tony
