If not lucky point then at least undeserved. Cool review :-) And thanks for the compliments. In this game of Nullmover I had no check extensions yet. I implemented them during the free time I had because my opponent did (could) not show up. After carefull testing of this change afterwards of the tournament I found out that the checkextensions busted up the elo of nullmover with 136. It sees mates now a lot earlier as without those ... really cool ... special thanks to Paladin. I worked hard before and during cct 5. I slept in 3 days 8 hours and worked all awaked hours on my program. This tournament was a lot of fun, a big motivition and worth all the energy. The preparation and the changes during this tournament made nullmover a total of 234 elo stronger. Something which I would never achieve if I didn't had participated. Thanks to the organisation, the opponents, and the other participants for the big fun and cool atmosphere. By the way: I test normally with a lot of Blitz games against 150 different engines. No we are no freaks nor nerds ... Regards, Michel
