Thank you for being open to this Albrecht.  We will check it out
and if this version proves to be consistant with the logs and the
moves played at the tournament (and our other testing) then  I
would consider the matter closed as far as I'm concerned.

There is the other issue about building on other peoples sources
but I'm not interested in attaching blame to you for this.  It's
an issue that needs to be discussed openly and without too much
criticism.   You were very up front and direct about this one.
