The README file mentions that the indicated strength ratings were determined on a certain reference machine. Apparently they are not adjusted on the user's machine based on the processor speed using the logarithmic formula, as past Chessmasters, at least 8000, did. Any ideas about how fast that reference machine processor speed was?

To those with knowledge of chess programming - how many plies of capture (quiescence?) search are included beyond the stated ply? I assume it varies greatly between typical middle game positions and simple endgame positions.

Greetings, I've put Dusan Dobes' Phalanx chess engine on Sourceforge.net with a few (cosmetic) changes to make modern GCC (3.2+) happy. Jim Ablett, with deeper changes, ported it to Windows/MSVC++. You can grab it at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/phalanx, both its Unix source code and Ablett's modified Windows source + windows binary.

Hello, i would like to ask how ICC find out if one uses computer assistance and how can also keep track of a user? I beleive that through its interface which happens to be BlitzIn, it somehow stores specific hardware information so even if one change his/her ip address or even his ICC handle his still able to identify him. How does ICC do that? By hacking our computer?
