Hi Bertil,

Thanks for kind wordings. One technical remark, IMO the difference in strength
between version 3 and 4 is not so big, say 30-40 elo on 40/120 on your A-1200
PC's. If your next list will show a higher improvement the credit IMO will go
directly to the (ahem) improved autoplayer code in Rebel Century 4.

I am really surprised by your good results so far, I hope it will remain steady.

Question, what hash table size do you use? In other words did you get the
autoplayer to run under Windows?

Ed
