Be sure all chess programmers have started on a much weaker level, than they have today. It takes normally many years, depending on the time you have, to create a strong chess program. So be sure, if you not stop working on your engine, it will become stronger and stronger. I'm sorry for your final result, but perhaps in the next tournament, your prog will be able to make the first points. So good luck from me for your next tournament. Andreas
