Hi Frank,
I don't display the PV because it can be used by human cheaters, not a
consideration for CCT4 of course but I won't be changing this part of my program
just for CCT4...  Of course some programs are smart enough to detect computer
opponents, in which case they kibitz the pv plus other information.  I don't
think it matters what you display, it is entirely up to you isn't it?

My program whispers the score etc.  For the tournament, I will alias whisper to
kibitz :-)

cheers,
Peter
