Why is this so? Possibly due to the code base for Gnuchess 4 was developed for much longer than GNU Chess 5 has been developed. Although I don't know about playing strength, it could be wise trying to upgrade to 5.06 (or maybe 5.07 which soon should be out) to eliminate some already solved bugs. Of course, if you got yourself something like Crafty, your father would probably find it even stronger (100 US proof or something :-) -- Anders Carlsson
