Hi Uri,

based on the results with the Harry Schnapp suite and statistical investigations
of the CEGT database one could pick the seemingly best 40 positions from it to
run something comparable to a Nunn match. Anyway wait and see, there will come
something even better from Harry one day.

Best Regards
Heinz
