Hello Thomas
I would like to see playing into playchess engines room, to Dr. Robert Hyatt
engines.
For me is a problem to play into ICC because I have not premoves into ICC, and
as a guest if there are disconnection immediately I will be lost.
I would like to play a challenger (just for fun and for testing engines to be
better engines and of course me too) into playchess against Crafty from Dr
Robert Hyatt and against Quark, if could be possible into main room better for
everyone.
Unique way for me to discover new ways will be playing in long time controls.
This has been a dream for me Thomas.
Best regard,
Pablo
