I've been thinking about trying some ideas for game playing
and was going to use gnuchess as a starting point. But before
I do, I want to know how good it really is. How does it compare
wit the commercial programs out there. I was under the impression
that it was inferior but I notice that several different versions on 
ics are doing quite well. Isnt Vacuum cleaner using gnuchess?

If I take the distributed version of gnuchess, with no modifications,
will this be a good starting place? Or do the ics programs have 
important changes to them?
