I'm going to play one more game and then I'll give the results. Then I'll probably Play some more CSTal-2 vs a different program just to see if it only does good vs Hiarcs or is solid all around. My later question of "How many games/month do most people play at 40/2 vs a chess program begs and answer. Personally I don't play at that long time control because I can't compete and the computer doesn't need that much time to beat me. It only takes a few moves to show my inferiority. Jim Walker
