Zarkov vs GrandMaster Chess

[Roger Uzun]

I understand that GrandMaster Chess is the mass market version
of Zarkov, but is it the latest Zarkov? On similar machines
would they perform about the same? Any features removed
from GM CHess that are in Zarkov?

The chess-engine in Grandmaster is similar to that used in
Zarkov 2.6, although it was completed several months before
that used in Z2.6 and is probably slightly weaker.
Grandmaster has pull-down menus and fancier graphics (2d and 3d
board), but is missing some of Zarkov's features such as
generating multiple candidate moves when analyzing games,
annotations, generating PCX or WPG chess diagrams, interfacing
to Bookup7 etc... Also, I think it's easier to add/modify
book moves in Zarkov.
