How many opponents? Opponents are Tiger 11.8.2, Rebel 10, MChess 8 and Genius 6. In other words, the whole range of commercials, from absolute top to average. [So far, "CM 6666test" scored 1.5/2 against Tiger and Rebel at 60/game on the PIII-550s.] >Ya, I know.

Hopefully they will have any idea what this is all about. ;) I hope you told them how important an autoplayer is for the all-important SSDF list. Otherwise, they will probably say "How many percent of our customers will have a need for this? Oh, 1%!? Great. Idea dropped!" ;-( I think Johan should stick to feeding Mindscape with smaller updates of his King 2.xx and release 3.xx on a "real" platform such as Fritz GUI. Would probably be financially more attractive as well (?). --- Shep
