It is "book add book.pgn" not "book create book.pgn". The FAQ is now correct on the GNU website, and 5.03beta has corrected documentation. I haven't seen GNU chess running out of time, are you sure you switched pondering off on Crafty? That said Crafty beats GNU on equal terms as far as I know. That Hyatt chap knows a thing or two about computer chess. As for the strongest computer - well the lazy way is to log into FICS or ICC and type "crank 9999". It may not be scientific, but it is probably how you judge human players, for example who knows how strong Fischer was during the late 70's and 80's? -- Are you using the Internet to best effect ? www.eighth-layer.com Tel: +44(0)1395 232769 ICQ: 116952768 Moderated discussion of teleworking at news:uk.business.telework
