- I've been asked to post some games of the match, but first some
- overall impressions about the two programs.
-
- My friend says, that the endgame knowledge of MChessPro is definitely
- a big plus. Another factor is the bigger opening library that leads
- to an increase of search time for MChess. MChess loves double bishops
- and also knows how to play with them. And MChess's play seem to be a
- bit more aggressive and directed to the enemy king.
-
- All these factors, though small by itself, sum up to a better performance.
- It's not that you can put your finger on one thing and say "this is it".
