The question that should be being asked here in CCCLand is: When, and in what format, is the next KING engine coming out? Many would be happy if it was a "Fritz" engine, Some would be happy if it was a "Genius" Engine. I'd happily load it into Fritz or RebelWindows. It'd sell fine with it's own gui, preferrably windows for me. We know the Author is still about, King did well at the Dutch. Forget about Chessmaster, chase up the KING. > > >On November 12, 1999 at 05:07:54, alfred palang wrote: > >>I just hope that CM8000, whenever it's coming, will be different with a new >>engine... > >worth a look, if you do much web surfing... >http://www.alladvantage.com/go.asp?refid=FTZ387
