Double games don't count. Let's play at least 40 games if Auto232 40 games auto232 at 40 in 2 is excellent. Double games we delete of course. chance getting many double games is small though, as diep has no learning and a very wide book, we can delete them by hand anyway. >is available in Diep, and the tester has enough time. >Is it OK for you? >This way we can start the match very quickly. Let's say next week, we must both press a cdrom and ship it to the tester! >I bet a bottle of good champagne. Or do you prefer something else? How can i decline such a generous offer! We must use a neutral tester we both agree on at some decent hardware we agree at. I think we only need a few days to find an objective tester who wants to start the test. We can of course also appoint at icc at any time. Please announce such visits though, normally diep plays only 1.e4 lately at icc, which is a move that's not part of my anti-computer book (and currently the only difference between the anti-computer and human book, the book is 1100 moves now). I'm looking forward to a bottle of champaign at Christmas! Vincent
