Challenger Test: Beta Testing Games
of Zchess1.51b, Zephyr0.2 and LittleGoliath2000V2.6b.

Objetive: To face  Zchess1.51b against Old
and Non-Winboard Engines. The reason is the other Testers do a lot of games
between Winboard Engines and I want to study  the Zchess1.51b game
style behavior when are facing non-Usual Chess Programs.

First Challenge: Zchess1.51b
Vs Chess Master 3000.

Testing Conditions:

Computer I - Zchess1.51b: Pentium III 550Mhz, Ram 384Mb,
Hash Tables 96Mb.

Computer II - Chess Master 3000: Pentium III 450Mhz,
Ram 192Mb.

Time Set up: 30 Minutes, Sudden Death.

Brief Analysis: Chess Master 3000, the first version
of this Program under Windows (1991!), was stronger than Zchess1.51b. 

Probably causes: 

First, Zchess1.51b played both the opening and the middle
game very fast. 

Second, Zchess1.51b only developed its analysis until
8 to 9 plies during the opening or the middle game.

Third, Zchess1.51b sometimes selected horrible moves
that was not according with its game strength. I don't know really why
it selected these horrible moves. I think it is a search algorithm bug
that doesn't deepen appropriately in the resulting positions of the variants.

Fourth, Chess Master 3000 showed an adecuated game level
against  Zchess1.51b.
