I have seen CSTal in three tournaments; in one it finished dead last among comercial programs, in Thorsten's it is first, and in this match it didn't do so well. :\ The first commercial program Insomniac ever beat was CStal 2.03 (on FICS; Insomniac actual had weaker hardware). My overall opinion is that it can be dangerous, but is quite a bit weaker than the top commercial programs. I am very curious to see more matches with CStal though. Thorsten's tournament indicates that maybe it is a bit stronger than other evidence suggests? James
