I've seen my program play games that are positionally very good, certainly at least was good as I'd expect from a 2200 player. On the other hand, sometimes it plays positionally very ugly. I think positionally, most strong programs are somewhat erratic. They are capable of footing it with strong players on positional grounds, but sometimes they will be 'found out'. On the whole, I believe micros are of GM strength at 40/2. > >--Peter
