thanks for the support :-)

8 games to go for me and 4 more games between the other 2 programs - if all are
draws, we go for a sudden-death shootout with opening books turned off. that
will probably just be a lottery, with 33% chance for each of us, but that's a
better chance than i have with books turned on...

i think schaeffer wrote something about how unlikely it was that an EGTB error
would have turned up in his match against tinsley (they had bugs in 1992, but
they thought they had none in 1996 - but they had some there, too). well, it
seems it turned up here! we're not 100% certain yet, there's another guy in
england using schaeffers database, if he also gets that error with his lookup
code it's definitely the chinook database.
