ChessV getting fixed: If you have problems with ChessV, please make a complete bug report. 'I can sometimes win against ChessV, when will this be fixed?' is hardly a bug report that Greg Strong can use to fix the problem in question. If you have a problem with ChessV, please *save the game* so that Greg can look at the problem.

And, yes, I see that ChessV 0.9.1 Schoolbook game is weaker that its 0.9 game. For example, ChessV 0.9.1 was white, ChessV 0.9 was black and both sides had 60 seconds to think their move on a PIII 450 in this game:
