Hi James!

I just saw, that your program made a huge rating jump on FICS. And, by the
way, *I* like your program! Now, is that encouraging? :))

Hmm, just saw, that you lost your last game.
Against a program called 'HMChess'... Never heard that name before...
;-)

No, really, I think it's incredible, how strong JRCP already is, after
such a short time. And you're very young, wrote a strong program in a very
short time, so I guess the day will come, when people don't buy Fritz or
Hiarcs but JRCP :)

Looking forward to our next FICS match,

Heiko.
