Hehe! :-) Would be strange if no Michael's comment follow this message of mine!
As you noticed, I HAVE 16MB set for CM. But as for SS=10, I am too far with this
Tournament to change that. Maybe I will play some separate match of CM ss10
against the winner of 99 Summer Tournament.
In a week or so we (I and Shep) will decide of CM 6666 settings. I am going to
exclude Crafty and let CM6666 in.

P.S. Nice to see you watching my humble chess activities, Michael. :-)
