Hi Heinz!

Yes, it is true that I am playing with predefined openingpositions and I will
continue to do so. Basicly I have been satisfied with my testing so far.
However, I have realised that testing 40/14 repeadetly is too timedemanding when
you yourself are the only tester. Moreover, I discovered that some of my
openingpositions haven't been working too well (especially Ben Oni in which the
White-score exceeded 70%) and I have also come to the conclusion that I prefer
10 predefined openingpositions in stead of 15. It's almost decided which 10
predefined openingpositions I shall be using and I have coordinated this with
Klaus Wlotzka in order not to come too close to his openingpositions.

My hardware is still this:

Asus A8V Motherboard, Socket 939, FSB 1.000 MHz
AMD Athlon 64 4000+, 2.4 GHz, 1 MB Level 2 Cache, 90 nm San Diego Core
2 x 512 MB Corsair PC 3200XLPT RAM (CAS Latency 2-2-2-5)

It's very possible that I am making a change concerning the GUI. I used to use
Shredder 9 GUI but for some reasons it's likely that I will use Hiarcs 10 GUI
from now on. However, I will only do this if the "analysed positions per second"
is acceptable and comparable to those of Shredder 9 GUI. In fact I am testing
this right now and it seems that the difference is very marginal for the
UCI-engines (1-2% slower in the Hiarcs 10 GUI).

The time control will be either 5+5 or maybe 6+6. Ofcourse I will start posting
results here in this Forum and CSS-Forum when I am so far.

Best regards
Per
