we found a bug in the installation of the machine that run beta5.
for accurate ratings see:

there you find that beta7c and others are better than beta1 and beta2.

sounds good. anyway, it seems that beta1 is weaker than the default
rebel.eng (rebel XP).

i see your efforts with interest.

therefore i put your style on all 4 machines and let it run versus
rebel.eng in deel1-deel4 opening-test suite.

will inform the people on the above web-site, is this ok ?

i see that you do not use all the new features (bishop mobility, center stuff
that is realized in beta7c. , extensions...)

is this by will or just because you did not thought about it yet ?

thank you Howard.

as i said, your style is now on all 4 machines running versus the default
style.

It's IMO not good to run 2 NEW styles against each other (as you have done it)
because we don't know enough about BOTH.

this way we know about Rebel.eng and we can relate it to your style.
