Perhaps you are right. And BTW, which is your engine?

The core of your question to T. has no sense at all because CSTAL was thought and made NOT to play computer and get the best results against them. It was to play us, the people, real people hat buy them.
If some extra work could be done to CSTAL should be to enhance that features, not to get points against Rybka.

We already have too many engines capable of counting beans and crush all of us regards

No sense at all? Thank you!
So what is there more to enhance?

My engine is Neurosis: http://www.geocities.com/tasteofinsanit ... rosis.html
(named after one of my favourite metal bands)
I've always had playing against humans (me) in mind, so it's mainly suited for that, and it has it's own stand alone gui besides a Winboard-protocol version.

Hoping you'll have fun with it regards,
Stan

I will download it and play it this afternoon, taking profit it is a holiday day here.
I appreciate very much it has its own GUI. As I have said many times, it is somewhat boring to play once and against with the same CB, Arena, etc current guis.
Chess must be a total experience I believe, not just cold calculation.

My best
Fernando
