I especially agree with the what you said about the Polgar, a very well done program, but not written like many others to be a tactical blitz monster. At 40/2 it might score better. Even so, it is not in last place though it does have the slowest hardware in the field. In fact, I think all the other models present are at least twice as fast. As for the Emerald, it has been close on some games and still may end with a respectable score. I think it plays similar to the Sapphire though it is definitely cramped by a small book. Probably from now on I'll substitute the Obsidian for the Emerald. Thanks for the comments, Clive. Cheers, Chuck
