Hi Uri,

Yes, you are fully correct.

When I tested the version we were going to use I found problems which were not
expected, so I believed there was at least a bug in that version.

I have told this to SMK several times that with that version I was afraid we
woul not have won a single game and maybe loose some, but we used that one
anyway.
We did loose 2 due to weaker variations and one to a bug in the program.
We never kept an advantage when we had it...

Recently this bug was found, so I was fully correct in my expectations and my
analysis of the program was correct also on the bug theory too.
Too bad too late...

I am not saying that without the bug we would have won.
No one knows this, but with an handicapped version we had not hope and we did
loose...

I agree.

Next time we will see.
