I dont think I really care about a big elo jump, I am satisfied as long as the
new version scores about 5 points higher than the previous version in a 250
games test.:-)I only play 2/0 games. Some people say it is pointless, but heck I
am not bothering anyone by posting results all the time. Also considering that I
have a pentium 2800MHZ, I think its as good or equal to some of the 30 minute
games played by testers on 500MHZ pentium. I would say you should go ahead and
release it, its been a while since we have gotten a new version of your engine.
