I think that the engine, either in comp-comp or human-comp, is no improvement over F532. F6 is a bit slower and I don't really see the compensation in a better understanding of the game. Today I started following the Rebel-Baburin game with F6 and its evaluations were foolishly optimistic, without a clue about the threats that white had against Rebel's king. I ended up switching to more accurate programs. Instead, I like the interface very much. At first I had as default the F4 board, the old book-like one I have been using for years. Only yesterday I finally managed to put as default the maple board with F6 pieces (great job, Monika Berger), that in full screen, without icons and menus, is quite gorgeous and the closest thing I have seen to the real boards. I also like the different layouts I can call with CTRL-1 to 6, that in F5 only resize the board. I used it for the Rebel game today because it is such a pleasure to look at and to work with. For the rest, it has all the features I care for. The engine is disappointing and there are quite a few bugs left, but I find the GUI great. F5 was until now my favorite interface, but I would not like at all to go back to it. Enrique
