Hi Steffen,

The only changes I made between rounds last week were to Grok's opening book.  I
didn't like the line it played against Ferret in round 1.  This week I am making
some bigger changes, but I'm testing them very thoroughly.  I even got lucky and
found two bugs that have been in Grok for months.

This is a "benefit" of having a relatively weak program - there is basically
nothing at stake for me in this tournment, so I can risk these changes.  If I
had a top-notch program that was in contention, I'd leave the code alone.

Sorry about the mishap against Nimzo - that would have been quite a huge upset
if you had pulled it off.

--Peter
