Many thanks in >advance. ALex The 64-bit version is not complicated to run, and it works in every 32-bit GUI I've tried it in (Chessbase, Arena, Chess Partner, and Chess Assistant). You will, of course, need a 64-bit OS installed to use the 64-bit version. I won't say there are no bugs left, but Vas fixes them faster than any other organization I've bought a chess engine from before. You get all the betas and the 1.2 release if you buy now, so my attitude was - why wait, nothing to lose. Vas's support has been exceptional.
