Hi,

Without inbetween I would not be able to extract the opk number. Without that
number I would only get depth = 3 in the search. The King would lose to every
other computer. Inbetween sends the "debug=3" which enables the command window
that has the opk number. This is needed to used The King effectively outside of
its own gui.
