I've been reading the messages at the WinBoard forum and there has been very few tournaments with ponder on. I recall one tournament by Volker against Crafty, which was a disaster, but otherwise... >ps, by the way how is your tourny going on? any update?

I've finished round 3 of my ML-3 tournament, but I'm taking a break today and maybe tomorrow. I promised the author of Yace to test some settings against Crafty. Furthemore, I'm still fiddling with the Fritz6 demo. I've managed to remove the move limitation, but it would be nice to find a way to conduct engine tournaments as well. Best wishes... Mogens
