Bad News upon finding out there were way two many doubles i have to start over i
am also annoyed that chessbase doesn't give you the option to check more than 5
ply many positions which aren't solved any time soon are mistakenly listed as
solved. for example there are problems like this in MATS and the BK test and
others so watch out. All i can do is repair screwy epd files for you but i need
to know how and who to send them to. Thanks   maybe i will try this again once i
remove all duplicates
