Was very surprised to see that some people is not that eager to put space consuming data into their game. Probably the impact of this data is not that big as I expected. I left even there one small remarque when I found that one voice from Quebec sound to me too familiar... like so many separatist that pollute our soil here. Actually, I am French speaking and all the description in my game is done in French. Only I don't like to see in my country bigots and racist that actually could push my Canada into the shameful Balkans frame. >There has been a demo version of Chess Tiger named "Chess Tiger Light", but it >was only a very WEAK demo. > > > > >>Question is how I can compare?

To undestand what I am been talking about think about recognition of the speed of the mate solving logic. When logic look for the minimum number of moves, in order to reach the mate, it will take certain time. This time will be huge compared with rapid and partial revision of the same position by specially designed "quick logic". Only "quick logic" can miss the mate completely, or find it only in much bigger number of moves. This is why in recognizing the real speed of the logic for solving the mate, or finding the positional move, every comparison should be executed on the "brute force" search level. It must be done at fixed depth and without any extensions. For now, I don't see how this simple task should be performed. Leonid.
