I don't often play against computer engines but I did play a couple of games
against both Rebel-Tiger and Crafty in CA5.  Of course I was crushed by both
engines.  I'm still new with the CA5 program and I not sure if the following is
standard or if I set some setting to make it happen, but while playing (against
Rebel-Tiger) the numerical evaluation for the position appears in the game
window after Rebel moves (after it has gotten out of book).  I like that feature
in that if the score goes way bad for me I can go instantly back and review the
position while my thoughts of why I did what I did are still clear in my head.

Also, I used to use Fritz 5.32 to print out games but the CA5 print feature is
much nicer, IMHO.

I'd like to hear what others think of the new CA5.
