Well done Tim! > >Is the version which played going to put up onto his website? (Or even could it >be the same version? Unlikely - 3.00 is dated March 2003). I did use 3.00 for round 1. After round 1 I realised I needed to make changes to the engine to make it easier to be used in an over-the-board tournament, and I only had some development source code with me, so later versions were all 3.0.3.4 + changes (I generally made at least 1 new small change for each round). I'm now in the process of testing this final version to see if it's actually stronger or weaker than 3.00. This will take a couple of weeks at least. Cheers, Tim.
