And if you like backgammon GNU Backgammon is an excellent (free) program. It even does rollouts. Why pay $400 for Snowie?

Does '40/900' mean 40 in 9 mins?

no,40 moves in 900 seconds = 15 minutes.

Oh man I've just played a very juicy game against GNUChess 5.0.7 with both sides having 2 minutes to make 40 moves. I couldn't believe my eyes and I lost on time but GNUChess is way down on material.
