Ooohhh, bad news....

I hope this is wrong. On the other hand, I really wouldn't know, how he could
improve this great program even more. But he did it in the past, he will do
it in the future, I'm sure. If you ever got infected with the chess-programming
virus, it will never ever let you go ;-)

Huh? Are you talking about version 5 or 8? Did you see it's (v8) results in my
tournament? It plays great chess, and it's absolutely competitive even against
the strongest other programs. Do you remember Enrique Irazoquis tournament from
the end of last year? It finished on a shared second place in this tournament
out of eleven programs. Enrique used all the strongest programs available at
that time, in the biggest tournament I have ever seen (550 games all in all).


Greetings,
