Hi Art,

I hope you will not be too disappointed, but for the time being
I cannot promise anything.
After a few bad tournaments (only 3.5/9 and way to many stupid
moves in the WCCC in July, for example) I thought that I should try
to improve the engine before I release it.
It usually does well in testpositions and blitzgames but in tournament
games something goes wrong. Too much "search instability".
I'm working on it and making some progress.
However, the code has by now become very messy and I think it would
perhaps be better to rewrite the whole thing from scratch.
Or leave it ...
I have not decided yet. I'll let you know.

Cheers,
Martin
