Not only that, but in my testing, Gandalf 4.32e is much stronger than Gandalf
4.32f.

In 5 min games. Total games 85:

Gandalf 4.32e: +56 =12 -17
Gandalf 4.32f: =17 =12 -56

In 15 min games. Total games 75:

Gandalf 4.32e: +47 =13 -15
Gandalf 4.32f: +15 =13 -47

In 40 min games. Total games 50:

Gandalf 4.32e: +26 =15 -9
Gandalf 4.32f: +9 =15 -26

In 40/40 games. Total games 60:

Gandalf 4.32e: +43 =8 -9
Gandalf 4.32f: +9 =8 -43

Each series was started with a new book. Both programs on a PIII 500, 256 megs
ram. 56 meg hash tables for both. Here is the performance of white/black via
elo_stat:

White Perf.  : 49.4 %
Black Perf.  : 50.6 %

Gandalf 4.32e was the strongest version, and should have been the commercially
released version. Here is a set of games in the Fritz interface:

These were 40/40 games: Total 150.

Gandalf 4.32e: +87 =23 -40
Fritz 6a: +40 =23 -87

These were 40/40 games. Total games 150.

Gandalf 4.32f: +53 =47 -50
Fritz 6a: +50 =47 -53

You can see the "e" version destroyed Fritz 6a, and actually was the strongest
version over ICS play as well. My question is why wasn't it the commercial
version?
