I would thank those kind gentlemen for finding the opening book hole, fix the book, and move on. This is the challenge of playing on ICC! I enjoy it when humans try attacking Beadle or LambChop (the 2 accounts running my program), it is a good test of my program. If the attack fails, I get the satisfaction of victory. If the attack succeeds, I learn something about my program. There are plenty of things you can do to beat such attacks: - wide opening book - position learning - somehow slightly randomise the first few moves out of book cheers, Peter > >regards >Franz
