Jouni,

What is "3-best move mode"?  I'm not familiar with the rules of computer chess
play.  From reading the "Rules of Play" at the site, I am under the impression
that Mr. Ham can use basically any material to help in his move determination
but explicitly cannot use a chess engine.

Regards.

Steve
