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
