I will start the work of adding PGN support this weekend. I think it would be
easier to enter it manually until then :)

I have gone over your first game that was a repetition draw with Gothic Vortex.
On my machine (2.8 GHz) it needs 10 seconds per move to see the way to "not
repeat" and win. When the evaluation function has a negative score, it will take
any improvement, including 3-fold repetition :) It needed a few more seconds to
see a means to win the h3 pawn.

The game was very interesting! I may add your Cd3 move to the opening book!

Keep sending me your  games George, and I will go over them in detail.

I am glad you are  having fun with Gothic Vortex.
