Be sure to use the 6.7 version which was the best in my last testing with the
August executable as per my testing. I received an e-mail by Slobodan Stojanovic
that seemd to confirm this:
Hi Albert,
Here is the current top of my rating list, with only
won games (254+3"). Your Pro Deo 1.00 configuration is
much better than the original one.

The 1.00 settings he attributes to me are the S&D 6.7 I shared with one of the
Yahoo chess groups he and I subscribe to.
