Schoenemann - an impressive game

[Gabor Szots]

I don't know if it's flawless but I like the style. It reminds me of the old Comet engine.

Hi Gabor,

nice game.
Yes ... seems that is right, playing style is definitiv interesting.

At the moment I test an engine from a good known programmer, will be available this year, think so.
One of the test-engines I am using vs. this program is Petrel 3.1.

Petrel have a very aggressive style.

Schönemann 0.5.0 vs. Petrel 3.1 is still running over my big TV.
I am looking since hours ...

Really, war on the board.

Best
Frank
