Subject: Doctor? 3.0

The following was posted to the Polish-language newsgroup pl.rec.gry.szachy
(18/Jan/2000) by Darius Dlugopolski. I translate it here, without comment, for a
wider audience.

"I'd like to reveal to all correspondence chess players the secret of the best
analysis module. You probably won't believe it, but it's... Doctor? 3.0, which
forms part of the Fritz 5 (or 6) setup. A close acquaintance of mine (a
contestant in the Polish Correspondence Chess Championship currently taking
place) has the majority of the best chess programs at present (Fritz, Rebel,
Hiarcs, ChessMaster). These programs of course make light work of Doctor? at
normal time limits; in analysing positions they are better too. However, the
situation seems to change when positions are set up for a minimum of 24 hours -
it's that kind of time my friend uses, and he claims that at such durations
Doctor? has no equals."
