Hi Thorsten

The problem I have with your posts about CSTal is your
(over?)enthusiasm and the unrestrained ovations to its
style and strength. As I remember it (and correct me if
I'm wrong) you posted three games vs Hiarcs 7.32, all won by
CSTal. One win was due to a mistake by Hiarcs other people
couldn't reproduce. I also can't recall you saying that these
were the only three games the programs had played (but then
again, I don't have the post in front of me).

I am not saying that you are giving us flawed, selected
games. It just would be nice if you added something like
"...I have played these three games only..." and "...due
to an inexplicable move by Hiarcs in one game..." . Then I
would give more attention to the results (since I absolutely
have no reason to believe otherwise than that you are a honest
and credible person), and (who knows) I might buy a copy of
that excellent program :)

As for Hiarcs having kingside attack-problems
as you mentioned, that is true. If you can exploit
it easily(?), that is interesting.

And again, no insinuations intended, just some friendly
advice for your "marketing campaign" :)
