I'm think in the next MinimalChess version I will add suport for PSTs (because it's just such a huge strength boost) and I was thinking...

Very few engines can handle fortress assesment correctly, as already pointed out by other members here. below position was shown by an IM who posted this in youtube 8/7K/1R6/k2p3b/Ppp5/1p1P4/1PP5/8 w - - 0 1 Most engines got the correct line: Rb5+ Kxa4 Rxb4+ Kxb4 c3+ Kc5 d4+ Kd6 Kh6 Ke6 Kg5 but give...

In one football match at Europe, I remember that blooper when an A.I. camera focused on bald head of a referee instead of the ball.
Became one of the trending youtube vid. Not sure if I picked up the news here on talkchess or other news sites online.

You don't have a copy of the net either? I don’t do Windows and most of the chessbase software is Windows based. (I may have an ancient copy of chessbase for Windows NT somewhere.) I’ve restricted my comments to the GPL as I can’t speak to how FF2 plays or whether it would be worth X $ to someone. ...
