Frans Morsch must have made some significant improvements in the search. Incidentally, I did read the Cadaques Tournament Report. When you said F6a was the fastest program of all I thought you were comparing it to the other tournament participants, and not to F5.32. This clears it up for me. What do you think about the positional strength of the programs? The report made it clear that you feel Junior 6 is the best positional player. How would you rate the positional ability of the other participants from strongest to weakest? Also, do you think we have finally reached the point where the best programs play master level (not IM or GM) positional chess? Len
