Playing SPAUYGADOWOT chess is not simulating clasical chess. Computers PLAY classical chess. What he is playing is a cross between shuffle board and chess until the 50 move rule or the engine loses on time to stop the game. Nothing more. This does not make an engine incomplete, nor does it made the engine non-GM strength. It simply means that the engine does not support the SPAUYGADOWOT variant of chess. I hope you are not seriously going to argue that since Pablo can play this "style" of chess against most engines, they are not GM strength? Try this against Gambit Tiger with anti-human on or Crafty and you find out quickly this pawn blocking routine doesn't work all that well. This is probably why he can't do it against Crafty like it can with other programs. Christophe purposely put code in Tiger to stop players on the servers from playing this "brand" of chess and winning on time. Peter
