Greetings to all and a specific question for Greg Strong. Greg I've been
reading about ChessV updates and stuff like this, and the whole series of
things about Gothic Chess and the patent and some kind of arguing and the
like. But way to go on beating the Smirf program in the 2005 Gothic Chess
Computer World Championship!!!
