I think I :have heard that it should be about 2500 US ratings on a SPARC station. :Some others say that it plays an awful chess. Far below commercial :chess computers. Those two statements are contradictory. What is :the truth? Has anyone made (serious) testings of the strength? How should such a test be performed? Some time ago I let gnuchess play against Ove Lundberg(2050 then, 2200 now). He did not have much trouble beating it on a sun4. (gnuchess was did not play very badly, he beat a well man) I will ask him to play a later version of gnuchess (schah). As of now I get reports that schah kan be beat by reducing material. : : :Roland Karlsson :-- :Roland Karlsson :SICS, PO Box 1263, S-164 28 KISTA, SWEDEN Internet: roland@sics.se :Tel: +46 8 752 15 40 Ttx: 812 61 54 SICS S Fax: +46 8 751 72 30 Urban Koistinen - md85-epi@nada.kth.se
