That is an interesting information for Amir, although he did not write the
autoplayer code he may guide the author towards a solution.
I have found someone (not Thorsten BTW) who has volunteered to run a test
session Tiger/Junior. First, I am going to implement a small log file manager
into Tiger, so whatever happens in the match will be sent to a text file. When I
complete this work, I send Tiger to the tester and I will get the log file in
return.
If Amir is interested (he is certainly), I will share my informations with him,
or with all the group if there is an interest for this here.
Next I am planning to include an autosave feature in my program so the games
will be saved, whatever happens. This way it will be possible to test Tiger
against Junior before a fix is released.
