I like the moves Smarthink plays and i think some day it will be one of the strongest. But one bad, very bad thing, is the damn low speed that i'm able to download the engine from your website. I have the amazing speed of 200 bytes per second! So i need 25 minutes only for the winboard engine and 2,5 hours for the book!!
