is the strongest pc program to date.  Here are the ratings according
to the computer chess reports:

SOCRATES
is not released-- EA bought this engine to use in
an upcoming chess release endorsed by Kasparov,
but TITAN, another chess engine by the same author
demolished top mainframe programs and EA is after
that one instead... it may take out chess genius
when it is finished... GRANDMASTER CHESS is Zarkov
1.  CHESS GENIUS   2495    but due to the graphics, it is slower and slightly
2.  MCHESS PRO     2460    weaker... but a quality chess engine none the less.
3.  SOCRATES       2420    I have heard people getting satisfactory results
4.  MCHESS         2400    with SARGON V (probably next on the list) but I
5.  FRITZ II       2360    haven't tested the update yet, and the one I have
6.  ZARKOV 2.61    2310    (the first release) is rather poor.  FRITZ II is
the 2nd version of FRITZ which is called KNIGHT-
STALKER in this country, and hooks up to chessbase.
Also note that ZARKOV 3.0 will be out soon, no
idea how strong just yet... though that 2495
mark by CHESS genius probably won't be beat for a
long time.  Poor REXCHESS, once supreme ruler, now
not even in the top six... though SOCRATES AND
TITAN are written by the same author, and we shall
see that EA chess game before the end of the year.

It is pretty easy to figure out, except for a few options.

RANDOM:           Will select at random moves with nearly identical scores.
Creates more variety, but subtracts game strength a bit...

PERMANENT BRAIN:  Thinking on your time (you must enable extra search from
the display menu to see this)

HASH TABLES:      KEEP ON-- program is weaker without them...

PAWN STRUCTURE:   If on, computer plays according to pawn structure (most
likely that will make it stronger)

TIME ADJUST...:   + or - will add or subtract 30 seconds (for tournaments)

OTHER OPTIONS

BOOK:  Tournament, random, or book off.  Random will select from a wide
repertoire of opening moves.  Tournament will select only those that
are suitable to computer's style.

BOOK STYLE:  Normal:  Wide choice.
Human:   Openings designed to give program advantage against
humans
Gambit:  Gambit lines
Modern:  Modern like the Pirc and Alekhine
Classic: Like e4 e5
Blitz:   Sharp opening lines designed to give program advantage
against human players in blitz

PLAY STYLE:   ACTIVE is the strongest.

SELECTED DEPTH:  Normally the program does up to 12 ply of selected searching
above the full width depth.  This can be reduced to 10, 8,
6, 4, 2, or zero.  12 is strongest.

PIECE VALUE:     The value that the program gives to each piece can be
adjusted from 75% to 125% of its normal value.

CONTEMPT:        If set negative, program plays for a draw.  Positive, plays
to avoid draws.  +0.25 pawn words well when playing weaker
opponents.

OPERATOR TIME:   The time selected is added to program's clock each time the
program makes a move.  Useful for tournaments, where game
is played on real chess set and it takes time to transfer
the move between real board and the program.  20 seconds may
be suitable.

W TIME:          White's clock can be adjusted...

B TIME:          Black's clock can be adjusted...

Cracking Notes:

You must use PKUNZIP -D option otherwise the program will not work.  Unzip
it to a directory and then it's ready to run.
