By chance, there are good tutorials in the web to learn you how.<br /><br />Disclaimer: I have not any participation with any AVs I mentioned or didn't mention, no kind of interest in whatever form it could take in any informatical product, component or OS, and limited competences in computer-use, so you can ask me anything on it, but at your own risk.Cortexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05221110115712939944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37675897.post-59551524547006707192011-07-12T22:20:36.430+01:002011-07-12T22:20:36.430+01:00So what AV would you recommend?

Martin - it shows imbalances. Anonymous - no, it's what I actually played in the game, and it's not the best. Signalman - looks right to me. Richard - yes it does, because when it gets to the end the computer decides it can't castle after all, though you'd think it would prefer a mate in two.
