Dr. Hyatt,

some basic questions:

How do you fix this or is it a case of "If I knew I'd have the best program in
the world?"  Would any attempts at correcting deficiencies entail playing
hundreds if not thousands of games?

And another:  Can the user of a prgram find alternative methods by his own input
regarding better parameters and opening books to overcome program deficiencies
in certain areas?

What are "extensions"
