Nice to hear from you. But forgive me, I don't quite understand this business about using Crafty to finish your adjourned games. If you have a bug in your resume-game code, why not just fix it? Certainly you've been able to resume games in the past. But more than that, you risk your credibility if you do that sort of thing. That's just my opinion, of course, and perhaps you and others might see it differently. And maybe it's just not that important to you. But you say that you've spent a long time developing this program, and that it's grown from a weak player to a strong one, so I would think it's integrity would be important. I'm not attacking you at all, I just honestly don't understand it. Perhaps this is an accepted practice that I'm not aware of. I know there are several accounts that use several different programs, but none of these are accounts run by the author of the program. Will
