Hi all, the 9th WCCC is over (congratulations to Stefan and Shredder!) and therefore I just loaded GromitChess 2.20 (the version that played at the WCCC) to the GromitChess Home Page There is also a new Linux-version, a slightly updated readme.txt, new testresults and the testsuites. A solaris-version will be added next week. Like older versions a "cygwinb19.dll" is needed to run Gromit2.20 under Windows. Try to get a "cygwin1.dll" (using http://ftpsearch.lycos.com) and rename it to cygwinb19.dll, because the original dll crashes sometimes. It seems this version plays a little stronger than older versions. Have fun testing it, Frank Schneider P.S.: here are the best games Gromit played at the 9th WCCC: [Event "WCCC99"] [Site "Paderborn"] [Date "1999.06.18"] [Round "6"] [White "GromitChess"] [Black "Centaur"] [Result "1-0"] 1. c4 e6 2.
