This is really disappointing, as Ban and Ferret are the only SMP-capable programs (besides other Crafty clones) on ICC. I enjoyed watching the Crafty vs. Ban encounters - the games were always very tense and well fought. Despite the history between you and Amir, I doubt that the disconnects were intentional. Probably just a poor connection on his side. I hope you will reconsider the "noplay" status. --Peter
