I do not expect amateurs that are more than 100 elo weaker than Crafty to be
tested by the ssdf and it means that I even did not try to ask the ssdf to test
my movei.

If the ssdf are interested in testing it I may send a version of movei but I
expect to have a version that is at least 100 elo better than my latest version
in less than 6 monthes.

Movei is only a winboard program and I do not know if winboard programs can use
the autoplayer(I suspect that they can do it under chessbase but I do not know).
