This position is from the game in which Kasparov crushed Deep Blue by demonstrating his much better understanding of mobility. In chess, when the pawns advance, they make room for the minor and heavy pieces behind them. Kasparov teaches that since chess is limited to 64 squares, the more 'territory' you control in the enemy camp the more space your pieces will have to operate in and the less space your opponent will have for his pieces.

Baron seems to be a very strong engine, even stronger than Rybka 3. Do you where i can get it? Is it a commerical engine?
