Hi Fabien,

first of all, thanks for this fantastic engine. It is not only about the amazing
results, games are very nice to follow.

Again about the bombshell mentioned by Dann Corbit with the very first relase.
Improvements from version 1.0 to 1.5 to 2.0 to 2.1. I thought such big
progresses would finally stop at this high level. Every programmer at this stage
is happy with a few ELO points more, but you even give more than 100 again. This
is outrageous and contradicting to all we ever thought about improvements for
high level engines, somehow obscene :-).

One last wish, do not stop now, we want more fruit, but it can´t proceed this
way, it simply can´t.

Best Regards
Heinz
