    In that case it's indeed a surprise that The King did so well. We have
    played so much games with this engine that we can tell this for sure. I
    think this time it was the opening book that contributed very much to
    the good result. And furthermore: at Leiden played a DOS version of
    The King. I have no idea how this may have a positive influence too.
