Bob, I read your report carefully. The story is over for me. I know where I am now, and what I have been doing. About my doubts -- yes, I did have them but there was that different style of play, my good faith and a rationally based conviction that the author is a brillant person. For all I know the author IS a brilliant person. However, I have enough evidence now to form my opinion about those early versions of Voyager -- R=3, some eval changes (e. g. bishops getting more bonus vs. knights than you assigned), plus some other Voyager specific changes which I will not mention now as the author is still, I think, working on the program (hopefully making a wholly new product). Bob, thanks for doing what I thought you should surely do -- presenting evidence. From now on, the version playing on ICC (a terrific blitz player otherwise) will be labelled as Voyager, by Robert Hyatt, modified by G. Mueller. I do intend to run it more when I have time, as I truly believe it to be one of the best blitzers on the Net. There are some other points that I have raised in the discussions with Dan Homan and Jeremiah Pennery that I think are worth further elucidation. Perhaps later at some point. Regards, Djordje
