By now this computer has 128mb mem, but I'm thinking of going up to 512mb this month, and that'll give me bigger hashtables with Dos Comet running in Windows, but I guess it'll still only get 64mb in Dos. So, anyhow, I fed Comet the position as an epd now, and the game continues: [Event "Comet-Crafty"] [Site "586-700"] [Date "2001.03.12"] [Round "1"] [White "Comet"] [Black "Crafty"] [Result "*"] 1. e4 e5 2.

Ne3 * Mogens wants to run, I think he said Patzer(?) on his computer, against Comet on my comuter in a simaler 30 minutes per move game, so we'll probably start that soon, probably put it in his forum as it progresses.
