Hi Thorsten, please to see you here again:
You worked with Chris implementing CSTAl so you should now better about the
difference. I have the feeling, almots the certitude, tyhat the key of the
difference is that CSTAL does not use the usual maxmin approach, that is to say,
does not choose  a move because even the best of the posible answers -for the
oponents- has less score than the best of the answers of other moves. I believe
that some kind of preference is given to moves where there are the maximal
number of dangerous answers from the opponent FOR the opponent. In other words,
CSTAL does not presumes the best possible answer from the opponents, BUT prefer
to give the opponent the greatest number of wrong moves to choose from, even if
there is a good move that is better than any other.
Am i missed the point too far?
Fernando
