Hello Harald, Before you delete CSTal-2 from your HD tell me which "Chess.sty" file were you using? I played two games last night using the original Chess.sty file and they were two interesting draws vs Hiarcs 7.32. The first 6 games I played using the file at the web site (Thorsten's I think). It's too early to be sure but it looks a little more solid in these two games. So now I will play a few more just to see if it really is better. Jim Walker <snip> >
