Well, that's all very nice & evan believable.  I believe Steve Lopez also wrote
a piece in his 'T-NOTES' about Doctor, and its playing style.  Still, it would
be nice if Chess Base, and/or, the engine programmer's authors would also write
something for their general, program buying public, more about how their
program(s), play and analyse positions.  But, we can't have everything now, can
we?:)
