He mentions in his book "One Jump Ahead", how they found errors in them, again and again. Much to team Chinook's dismay. I thought after the last EGTB errors that every one of the files had been "proofed", 100% accurate. Very interesting, if the error is in Chinook's files. After running thru a game on your web site, I'm POSITIVE I won't be playing checkers with you guys! Wow! Your programs are GOOD! Great web site, and best wishes for a great tournament, Martin. Dave
