Hi Gerrit:
In the first place, my congratulation for such an accomplished program in
windows, better than many commercial ones in terms the use of that OS. In second
place, I suppose you should concentrate in the engine. As maybe you remember, my
first game was an easy win -well, no that easy...- but I was not capable of
saving it and delivering it for you to see it, but now wiht the fixes I will be
and I hope I will still win...:-) I am just -after writting this- going to play
a 40/60 game against your last version. Curiously what I thought I saw in the
first Bringer was a kind of fault very similar to mine in middle game: not to
see collateral moves that destroy any analysis you have made following the main
variant. ¿Maybe too much selectivity? Of the program, not mine....
Truly yours and if anybody besides you is reading this, let me commend you to
download Bringer.  It is very very funny.
Fernando
