Glad to see yet another release, but there are a couple of problemettes:

i. It installs in a very unusual place by default under XP SP1 (Documents and
Settings\<user>\Application Data, which is the root folder of a whole number of
other per-application settings folder; I would have expected Program
Files\Arasan, although I can easily tell the installer to do this. (Is "under
Program Files" not stipulated, somewhere, by Windows developer documentation?)

ii. I note (Athlon XP 2800, 512MB RAM, 10 minutes plus no increment, GUI
version) occasional "mysterious king moves" being made. For example:

[Event "Casual Game"]
[Site "London, United Kingdom"]
[Date "2003.08.10"]
[Round "1"]
[White "Alastair Scott"]
[Black "Arasan 7.0"]
[Result "*"]
[ECO "C92"]
[TimeControl "36000+0"]

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 4. Ba4 Nf6 5. O-O Be7 6. Re1 b5 7. Bb3
d6 8. h3 O-O 9. c3 Bb7 10. Bc2 Qd7 11. a4 Nd8 12. d4 exd4 13. cxd4
Kh8 *

I shall keep testing :)
