And fixing bugs always helps. Of course, my engine will continue to improve for some more time, but there is a limit. It will never be stronger than at most 100-150 Elo points above the current level. By the way, I played a couple of games against muse-comp on the ICC earlier today. I was quite impressed by the opening play, considering that Muse does not yet have an opening book. Gothmog looks much more clueless without its book. Tord
