I really CSTAL and its >interface. It could stand improving but in time I am sure it will. Engine of CSTal was never designed to play blitz games. We mainly tuned on 60/60 or 40/120. I guess a program doing 6000 NPS doing 5 0 or even 3 0 games is completely at the wrong place - better - wrong time control. in those short time controls you mainly do not test the strength of the chess-engine but the time and speed of different search-tree-algortihms. those having efficient but dump algorithms in the first 3 seconds have better score, and those having unefficient but more knowledge in 3 seconds lose games. mainly because they search not as deep enough as the faster prg's do. on 40/120 or 60/60 it is not this way because after a few plies search both programs do not come much deeper anyway and other stuff gets important. e.g. not how fast you can shoot but how good you can hit the target. >When I play blitz myself i lose on time alot. So at lease Talmoves time >management is better than mine. :-)) it seems your playing is a little buggy. go to your parents and ask for a bugfix. let them pay for it. you are the customer and you have all rights :-)) >Keep up the good work at Oxford-Softworks and thanks for CSTAL. we try. thanks . but it seems chris is in the moment in a motivation lack due to many frustrating posts he read in the scene. :-)) I will try to motivate him working on tal3. the idea of the program is to make chess interesting. i am sure fritz will have to put knowledge into the program, and junior maybe too. there is IMO no other way to beat programs like shredder. so - the longer we wait, the more intelligent the prg's will be. paderborn has shown this very clear IMO. >David Beauregard >Talmoves >beauman
