Hi Uri,

  This is good news.  Preliminary test results at g/15 AMD XP 2200+ 64 MB hash
for all engines.

Movei AMD XP 2200+ 384 MB RAM  2004

Movei 00_8_174   - Amateur 2.70       3.0 - 5.0    +2/-4/=2    37.50%
Movei 00_8_174   - Frenzee 146        6.0 - 2.0    +5/-1/=2    75.00%
Movei 00_8_174   - SlowChess 2.9      4.5 - 3.5    +4/-3/=1    56.25%
Movei 00_8_174   - Tao 5.4            2.0 - 6.0    +1/-5/=2    25.00%
Movei 00_8_174   - Quark 2.05b        5.0 - 3.0    +4/-2/=2    62.50%
Movei 00_8_174   - Hagrid 0.7.56      8.0 - 0.0    +8/-0/=0    100.00%
Movei 00_8_174   - Movei 00_8_173     3.0 - 5.0    +0/-2/=6    37.50%

Hagrid is probably not a good opponent to test against Movei as it is a bit weak
but I wanted to include a wide range of engines, and also Quark wasn't using its
own book.

Movei00_8_174 vs. Junior 5 at g/5 with no handicap resulted in 1 - 8 in favor of
Junior and Movei only managed 2 draws so I stopped the tournament.  They were
both using Perfect5.ctg from Sedat's website.
