How? Are you referring to a null-move issue?

You may not be aware of this, but there are a number of places to play online,
directly over the Internet, and it would be the easiest thing in the world to
set up an account to further test and show your program. If you go to ICC they
will most likely allow you a free (C) account for your program, and as Dr. Hyatt
has often said, the toughest testing ground possible is the ICC. Other authors
who have done this, have come to agree with this. You'll find most, if not all,
of the top programs running there, not to mention world-class grandmasters who
DO NOT HESITATE to play against the programs. Just yesterday I saw GM Dreev
playing Scrappy (a Crafty account), and I know GM mecking does so on a regular
basis, no doubt attracted by the very high rating it has attained.

Post them here. Many official games played by SSDF or at the world championships
are posted here on a regular basis. It would be great if you could include the
program's evaluation and mainline as well, since it would better show the
superior playing ability of your program.
