cstal is leading again...
there is a special patten with the leading programs : almost all leading programs are mainly knowledged based:
CSTal, Chessmaster, Virtual2, Shredder4, Zarkov4.5L, Rebel-Tiger, Hiarcs, Rebel-Century, Mchess, Diep2.
it seems the faster machines do advance the knowledge based programs
on those fast machines.


games and comments:
rebel-tiger had an easy job with chessmaster...

a very tough fight between virtual and junior. in the end the clever virtual-chess made it.
Virtual chess shows that it is completely underestimated. it is really a pity that nobody knows how strong this program really is.
i hope there is a stronger version soon ! PLEASE !!
