John called it a "HUGE problem", I just quoted him. So when I read your
mysterious posts involving Johan, I simply found out the secret and replaced
the old theking.exe with the new one, and it worked.

Note that I probably won't discern the difference between the two engines:
I don't run engine-engine matches, just play myself against them.

Let me add that I have much more chess programs than I can use so I
certainly won't bend over myself to get another one.

I am waiting for the new Crafty though with the new features Dr. Hyatt
mentioned here a while ago. Interested how will it adjust it's opening
lines and playing style to the opponent. I find this much more exciting
than increasing playing strength. Every time I read a post stating "the
new version is 30-50 Elo stronger than the previous one!" I just shrug
my shoulder, they're strong enough for me.

Sorry, these results tell absolutely nothing to me.
