Here is two games played last night with CSTal-2 using the "Original" Chess.sty file. It's early but in these two games CSTal-2 shows it's attacking style and when it fails it is still able to save the draw. So maybe this is the secret to a better CSTal-2. The Chess.sty file I used in the 6-0 games was downloaded from the Oxford Software site. I understood from Thorsten's earlier post that this was the best style and that is why it was used. This may have been my error. I will do some more testing. [Event "Level=120'/40+120'/40+0'0.

I had to finish the game manually and I hope I did nothing to affect the outcome. [Event "Level=120'/40+120'/40+0'0.
