Hi Uri,

was only a short test tournament ... just for fun!
More or less would I write a little bit about Arena options.

Arena have much of this innovative options, not in other GUI and we have a lot
of ideas for innovative GUI ideas in the future. My favorite option is the
blunder check in Arena. This would be help the development of a chess engine.

Level 9 is around 2.200 - 2.400 ELO ... I believe a little bit more!

Best
Frank
