Hi Graham,

interesting, Onno should win!
Smarthink is a great engine with a fantastic playing style. Against the TOPs Smarthink need 2-3 plys more. I like this engine!

Go Smarthink go ... hm, I like ETChess too
A very aggressive engine.

Hi Frank,

Onno is top seed, but it looks as though it will be a close battle.
I wonder if we'll ever see a new E.T Chess?

Cheers,
Graham.

Hi Graham,

I have a longer time no contacts to the ETChess programmer. A very friendly programmer which give me a lot of interesting thoughts to computer chess for some years.

I am sure he will release some day a new version, means I am sure that he is working from time to time on his program.

Best
Frank
