Stefan,

A warm congratulation for you and your great program.

Your engine is so stabile and has so few weaknesses it makes it hard to beat
and also it has a good killer instinct especially against lower rated programs.

These 2 items make your program always a serious candidate to win the title,
already for the third time now. I really hope your program finally will get
the attention and recognition it deserves.

Ed
