Alvaro,

Christophe is improving the engine and will make an improvement available to you
and others who had to be first in line to buy his program.

The planned changes in the engine are:

* better "antihuman" play (playing on the chess servers has helped to find how
to improve against humans)
* a special book suited to play against human players
* personalities (the user will be able to tune the engine, à la ChessMaster or
Rebel Century)
* Improved playing strength. There are already improvements over the engine
tested by the SSDF, and some of them are ALREADY in the commercial version. You
just need to UNLOCK them by changing some settings in the CT.INI file. Go to the
Rebel Home Page (www.rebel.nl) to see how to do it with your own copy. Several
major playing strength improvements are almost ready and will be released as an
engine update.
* A fix for the opening book to avoid what happened against Junior in the SSDF
match

These improvements could be ready very soon.


That is a quote from Christophe Theron at this site.

Don't worry I am not knocking Christophes' program but just telling you there is
more and better to come.
