Well, my old Fidelity Chess Challenger 7 overpowered GNU in the 5-minute game (the Challenger 7 took about 35 minutes; GNU only took 5). I figure this might be a fair comparison since GNU is running a 32-bit processor while Challenger 7 is a Z-80. Fidelity's endgame was so weak it overplayed by 15+ moves when mate was immenent, acquiring material. I finished the game for it. Installation was trivial; congratulations on a fine piece of software. One problem I'm having is getting from the help page back to the game page. Maybe this is a bug, or maybe it's a user interface problem, but normally I expect to see the help, and then expect a single keypress to return me to the game. I haven't yet figured out how to get back to the game.
